Freedom on the Menu: The Greensboro Sit-ins
by Carole Boston Weatherford
This book was a great way to explain to younger students about what happened at the Greensboro Sit-ins on an elementary level. The text is simple, but does a great job of explaining what happened and why. The illustrations are also very vivid and give a great way of looking at the way African Americans lived and were treated during the Civil Rights Movement. I would share this with my class to let them know how racisim impacted our country in negative ways and to let them know it would not be tolerated in my classroom what-so-ever. I would also share with the students the location of the sit-ins and how they took place in our state, North Carolina. This book could also be read during Black History Month during Febuary.
