"Unflinchingly honest and jubilantly hopeful, this is nonfiction
storytelling at its best." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Mention the civil rights era in Alabama and most people recall images of
terrible violence. But for the citizens of Huntsville, creativity,
courage, and cooperation were the keys to working together to integrate
their city and schools in peace. This engaging celebration of a
lesser-known chapter in American and African-American history shows how
racial discrimination, bullying, and unfairness can be faced
successfully with perseverance and ingenuity.
