Warriors Don't Cry: A Searing Memoir of the Battle to Integrate Little Rock's Central High by Melba Pattillo Beals

emotional informative inspiring medium-paced

5.0

An amazing autobiography from one of the Little Rock Nine, giving an in-depth look into the reality of their experience. With Beals' beautiful writing, coupled with her genuine diary entries from that time, it makes for an amazing book.

Often left out are the primary sources of the civil rights movement, purposeful or not. It is way past the time to teach these true and harrowing stories in American schools, so we know our history.
