Meet the youngest known child to be arrested for a civil rights protest
in Birmingham, Alabama, 1963, in this moving picture book that proves
you’re never too little to make a difference.
Nine-year-old Audrey Faye Hendricks intended to go places and do things like anybody else.
So
when she heard grown-ups talk about wiping out Birmingham’s segregation
laws, she spoke up. As she listened to the preacher’s words, smooth as
glass, she sat up tall. And when she heard the plan—picket those white stores! March to protest those unfair laws! Fill the jails!—she stepped right up and said, I’ll do it! She was going to j-a-a-il!
Audrey
Faye Hendricks was confident and bold and brave as can be, and hers is
the remarkable and inspiring story of one child’s role in the Civil
Rights Movement.
