If only we all had the courage of Audrey Faye Hendricks, the world would be a better place. ( )

This was a story I had not yet heard, of a 9 year old who went to jail as part of the Civil Rights Movement in Birmingham. Powerful story, in a nice, concise format. Well done. ( )

Following the story is an Author's note with more information about Audrey Faye Hendricks, a timeline, a recipe!, and a list of sources.

Until this book I never knew there was a children’s march in Alabama for the Civil Rights Movement. When adults were too scared or set in their ways, the children did what was needed. They marched and they went to jail. Audrey Faye Hendricks was one of these marchers. She was the youngest one, and she spent a week in jail for even daring to ask to be treated like others. This wonderful story is amazing, and it should be taught in schools. This is something that should be in school history books, not left out as if civil rights was only an adult problem. ( )

Inspired by shared meals with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and her own desire for equality, Audrey marched the streets of Birmingham and spent a week in jail—proving that you’re never too young to fight for freedom. includes Author’s Note, Timeline, Recipe (for Hot Rolls Baptized in Butter), Sources.
