From the Publisher

"This charming book of interviews will spark your child's interest in the civil rights movement and our heritage, and will, I hope, encourage more young people to take on an oral history project, opening a dialogue between the generations and improving understanding and appreciation of the strength and wisdom it took to bring our country this far."
-- Marian Wright Edelman, President, The Children's Defense Fund

"This marvelous book is indispensable. The clarity and empathy jump off the page."
-- Cornell West
