I thought I knew the story of the Montgomery bus boycott, but I was wrong. This is the complete account, written for children, yes, but a beautifully written account nevertheless. I feel deep admiration for the people who suffered through the boycott, who walked to work each day, put in a day's labor, and then walked home; people who had their homes bombed yet refused to use violence themselves; people who steadily and forthrightly took a stand to live up the ideals of the US Constitution despite the consequences to themselves. What a powerful story!
