We can learn a lot about history by reading historical fiction. What did you learn about the Civil Rights movement that is especially interesting to you? Why?
I learned that they had whites only signs in a lot of places. I also learned that the african american people were treated a lot worse than american people. They were very mean to african people. They used to through they in jail for sitting at a table in this story. They also wanted everything to be the same as it was back then. But in the story everything changed.
I learned that back then african american are treated differently from whites people because,they couldn't drink from the same fountain as white people or eat at the same restaurant as whites people. Many african-american join in at many sit-ins but at last they won so now african american an equal chances as americans do.
I learned that black people did a sit in which is interesting to me because they would not leave intel they were served because they wanted to be treated the same as whites. People threw food at them because of there skin color. some people got arrested for not leaving when they were told to.
Abby Takes A Stand by Patricia McKissack brought the Civil Rights Movement to life! I thought it was interesting to read about white Americans who actively fought alongside African Americans for equal rights during a time when so many white Americans opposed the Civil Rights Movement. I also thought “The Rules for the Nashville Sit-ins” listed at the end of the book were interesting because they stressed nonviolence. I am glad that our nation has come so far from the times of the sit-ins.
