- March Forward, Girl: From Young Warrior to Little Rock Nine
Description
"Beals' recollection of white oppression and her rise above it will haunt readers. A must-read for teens." --School Library Journal
From the legendary civil rights activist and author of the million-copy-selling Warriors Don't Cry comes an ardent and profound childhood memoir of growing up while facing adversity in the Jim Crow South.
Long before she was one of the Little Rock Nine, Melba Pattillo Beals was a warrior. Frustrated by the laws that kept African-Americans separate but very much unequal to whites, she had questions. Why couldn't she drink from a "whites only" fountain? Why couldn't she feel safe beyond home--or even within the walls of church? Adults all told her: Hold your tongue. Be patient. Know your place.
But Beals had the heart of a fighter--and the knowledge that her true place was a free one.
Combined with emotive drawings and photos, this memoir paints a vivid picture of Beals' powerful early journey on the road to becoming a champion for equal rights, an acclaimed journalist, a best-selling author, and the recipient of this country's highest recognition, the Congressional Gold Medal.
About the Author
Melba Pattillo Beals is the author of the bestselling WARRIORS DON'T CRY, which won ALA's Nonfiction Book of the Year award and the Robert F. Kennedy Book Award. She received a Congressional Gold Medal for her role in the integration of Central High School in Little Rock, AR. Read more about her at melbapattillobeals.com.
