Join us for an exciting issue of FOOTSTEPS as we focus on three key events in the Civil Rights Movement. Meet Rosa Parks, whose refusal to move led to a bus boycott in Montgomery, Alabama. Read of the triumphs and difficulties E.D. Dixon, Jo Ann Robinson, Ralph Abernathy, and the Durrs experienced as they tried to organize the boycott. Then, join the students who sat-in at the Greensboro Woolworth's counter and learn the reasons and the results of their actions. The third stop is Birmingham, Alabama. Martin Luther King, Jr., has just been arrested and writes his powerful "Letter From a Birmingham Jail." Mourn with the nation as you read the story of the four victims of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church fire. Then jump forward a few decades to the present and come face-to-face with those who lived through the period, and with their descendants. It's sure to be an issue you don't want to miss!
