Sit-in
Andrea Davis Pinkney
- Reading
- Read together and pause over the paintings as well as the poetic prose. You could distinguish what the students did from the wider historical meaning the book gives it.
- Themes
- Racial segregation and protest: Four college students stage a sit-in at a whites-only Woolworth’s lunch counter in 1960. The book presents this favourably.
- Worth knowing
- Racial segregation and exclusion are central to the history.
