A True Story of the Civil Rights Movement

By Doreen Rappaport Pictures by Curtis James
In 1965 Drew, Mississippi, the schools remained deeply segregated, and the classrooms for Black children were stripped of the resources they needed. For the Carters, a hardworking family of sharecroppers, enough was enough. Believing their children deserved the exact same educational opportunities as anyone else, they made a bold and dangerous decision: they sent their kids to the "all-white" schools. Facing relentless teasing and severe threats, the family stood their ground in the fight for equality. This beautifully illustrated, true story highlights the profound faith, honor, and courage of a family who risked everything to demand a better future.
