    I like that you have included oral history interviews.

    I'm going to use your resources (with my copy of the book) and add primary source photos, such as the one in this article:  https://learning.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/02/01/feb-1-1960-black-students-and-the-greensboro-sit-in/

    I enjoy your posts about pairing primary sources with picture books. Thanks.

    Great photo and caption addition  Nancy Cussary !

    Last summer, I had the opportunity to meet Andrea Davis Pinkney & Brian Pinkney.  Also, I'm familiar with the book.  The Four Friends who Stood Up reminds me of Rosa Parks' bus boycott.   Frederick Douglass said “If there is no struggle, there is no progress." 

    It was a powerful moment in history and the picture book is powerful as well.
