Turning ten years old, this eager young voice has already experienced lunch counter sit-ins and the voice and power of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at the Lincoln Memorial. But, today she is getting ready for a very special moment. She will be singing a solo of "This Little Light of MIne" at church. For this she needs the white patent leather shoes and the little white gloves with the embroidered flowers. This is 1963 and the black and white photograph illustrations draw us back to this violent time of change and anger and discrimination. Turn the page and see her church waiting quietly for Sunday services to begin. Then, moments later as this innocent ten-year-old with clammy hands waits for her turn, her big moment, a bundle of dynamite explodes and rips through the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church leaviang 21 people injured and four little girls, Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley, Denise McNair, and Carole Robertson, dead. Their photographs and short poetic testimonies to their short lives finish this poignant, unsettling memorial. 40 pages Ages 9-13
