(3) K-3 Illustrated by E. B. Lewis. In this welcome story of nonviolent protests in the early-1960s Jim Crow–era South, black residents of Huntsville, Alabama, organize Blue Jean Sunday--a boycott of shops that sold traditional expensive Easter outfits; students plan a sit-in at a lunch counter; schools are integrated through persistence and peaceful methods. Bright watercolors backdrop the relevant, calmly told story.
