Booktalk #1 It’s hot outside and you are thirsty. You spot a water fountain, and head towards it. Can you imagine being told that you can’t drink from that fountain? This is the world that many found themselves living in not even 55 years ago, right here in the USA. Many people had to protest in order for change to happen, however, protesting often led to being arrested or losing your job. That is where children just like you came in! Read about one girl’s experience in Let the Children March by Monica Clark-Robinson (Prepared by: Jennifer Tazerouti, Edwin P. Todd Elementary School, jbtazerouti@spart7.org for South Carolina Book Award) Booktalk #2 Children's voices can change the world! Join thousands of African American children as they courageously march with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to protest against racial segregation in Birmingham, Alabama. Despite many hardships, they learn hat their voices and their actions are powerful tools for social change. Inspired by the events surrounding the Children's Crusade of 1963.
