REMEMBER LITTLE ROCK

This photo is seared in my brain for all time. The hate jumps out from the paper its on, looking at the faces of the white folks. I bought this book not only for the story but for this one photo alone. I know there's a God above because He protected 15-year old Elizabeth Eckford from this evil, vicious crowd. And He led a kind-hearted white woman to help this girl to safety.

I use this book in my classroom, and my students find it very informative. The photography hooks them and the story keeps their attention, as my school is only about 50% white. They can't imagine not being able to go to the same school as their friends, or having to fight for an equal educational opportunity.

Well researched and copiously illustrated short book. Most appropriate for teens.

The book was written like a documentary and captured this period in our nations history very well.
