I read SIT-IN by Andrea Davis Pinkney. This book is about how these African American young adults (4) of them went to an "All White" diner. All they wanted was a coffee and a doughnut. they sat there without saying one word. they got the cops called on them at first, but the cop said that they were not doing anything wrong, all they were doing was sitting. So the diner owner closed down for the day. the word got around about this sit in, then more and more people started sitting in as well. I thought that this was a great civil rights book. I would read this to a class to start a lesson about the civil rights. I think that this connects to all of us because we take our rights for granted. People worked hard to get us where we are today! I think that this book is great for all ages and I would recommend this book to teachers who need a great book for civil rights!
