Illustrated by
Brian Pinkney.
A colorful narrative full of food references ("At first, they were treated like the hole in a doughnut") recounts the 1960 sit-in at the Woolworth's lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina. Watercolor and ink illustrations swirl with energy, capturing both the seriousness and exuberance of the student protesters. Sprinkled throughout are quotes from Martin Luther King Jr., formatted in extra-large typefaces. Reading list, timeline, websites.
