Carole Boston Weatherford Á Freedom on the Menu the Greensboro Sit Ins EBOOK
Freedom on the Menu the Greensboro Sit InsCounter just like she's seen other girls do Showing how an ordinary family becomes involved in the great and personal cause of their times it's a tale that invites everyone to celebrate our country's everyday heroes of all ages Freedom on the Menu by Carole Boston Weatherford a historical fiction book tells about a young girl who is unable to sit down while drinking her Coke because of the color of her skin The story goes on to tell about the sit ins and protests that took place in Greensboro NC during the 1960s We learn about how the Civil Rights Movement affects a family and how the different members take part in protesting and fighting for eual rights I think Weatherford does an excellent job of making this story one that children can deeply relate to and understand It’s power comes from the simple examples Weatherford uses depicting how African Americans were mistreated; it allows children to see how unfair segregation truly was Obviously this book would be wonderful to read in class while learning about the Civil Rights Movement Freedom on the Menu would be an excellent addition to a text anthology used to teach about discrimination andor injustices I think reading this with students in grades 1 3 and including a discussion would go a long way to help students empathize on a deeper level with African American children who lived in the times of segregation
