Child of the civil rights movement - Paula Young Shelton

In this Bank Street College of Education Best Children's Book of the Year, Paula Young Shelton, daughter of Civil Rights activist Andrew Young, brings a child's unique perspective to an important chapter in America's history. Paula grew up
in the deep south, in a world where whites had and blacks did not. With an activist
father and a community of leaders surrounding her, including Uncle Martin (Martin
Luther King), Paula watched and listened to the struggles, eventually joining with
her family-and thousands of others-in the historic march from Selma to Montgomery.

Poignant, moving, and hopeful, this is an intimate look at the birth of the Civil
Rights Movement.
