KRKB
Eight-year-old Aidan and his friend Gussie desperately want to go to school, but in the year 1903, their reality is very different. Instead of sitting in a classroom, they spend twelve exhausting hours a day working in a dusty, noisy Pennsylvania cotton mill. When the overworked mill hands finally decide to strike, Aidan and Gussie bravely join the picket line. Their courageous stand catches the attention of Mother Jones, a fiercely determined leader who fights for workers' rights. She realizes that a simple strike is not enough to stop child labor, so she organizes a massive, peaceful children's march all the way to the President's summer home in New York. You will march alongside these brave children as they walk for miles to demand a better future. Discover this powerful true story about standing up for fairness, proving that you are never too young to help change the world.
