I noticed that this excellent ebook is currently on sale for $2 on Amazon. I highly recommend it, especially if you're interested in history, diverse perspectives, and the fight for equality.

pickCarlotta Walls LaNier recently spoke at the library I work for about her experiences as one of nine Black students who integrated into Central High School in the 50s. Her book does an amazing job conveying in great detail the difficult fight she and her companions faced. It's a painful, heartbreaking, and powerful read that puts into perspective events that weren't all that long ago. #BlackHistory #ColoradoLocal

Carlotta is in elementary school when she is called the n-word on a bus in segregated Little Rock, Arkansas. This is her mother‘s advice.
I think it‘s good advice for us all.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I chose this audiobook for the prompt “author local to me”. I love about 45 minutes from Little Rock. I have heard bits and pieces about the Little Rock Nine over the years. I decided with everything going on in our country today that I wanted to hear about the past. The author did a wonderful job of telling her story and including the other eight teenagers.
With the death of Chadwick Boseman, today felt like a good day for a pilgrimage. Rest in power. ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻 #LittleRockNine #blm #goodtrouble #blackvoices
