(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Rod Brown. Eighteen varied poems, including "Booker T. Washington School, 1941" and "Heah Y'all Come" ("now the children run freely / toward each other / knowin no fears of the other") provide impressions of the U.S. civil rights movement. The accompanying paintings range from uplifting (e.g., protest marchers, arms linked) to unflinching in their depiction of violence against African Americans.
