Freedom on the Menu: The Greensboro Sit-Ins
Description
In 1960, when a young Black girl in Greensboro watches her community challenge injustice at a Woolworth’s lunch counter, she discovers that courage can be as ordinary—and as powerful—as taking a seat. As the sit-ins unfold, she learns how ordinary people organize, endure fear and hostility, and insist on dignity in the face of segregation. Told through a child’s perspective, this moving story brings the Greensboro movement to life while highlighting themes of civil rights, nonviolent resistance, and the everyday power of hope. Carole Boston Weatherford’s lyrical, accessible storytelling honors the bravery of those who changed history—one moment of resolve at a time.
