In Chicago, 1968, Sam and his brother, "Stick," often accompany their father to civil
rights demonstrations. As their father devoutly preaches Dr. King's message of peace,
the brothers struggle with their own beliefs and actions when fighting erupts at a
demonstration. The brothers both stand up to the injustices they witness, but each in his
own way. And their ways could turn violent.
Mrs. R's opinion: "I was pleasantly surprised by this book! This is a historical fiction book that you will be able to identify with--equality, Martin Luther King, Jr., parental issues. This was so well-written and gave me an insightful look at the various ways that people want to use in their fight for equality. I would read this again!"
