We've Got a Job: The 1963 Birmingham Children's March

In May 1963, as tensions over segregation and police brutality peaked in Birmingham, Alabama, it was the city's children and teenagers—like Audrey, Wash, James, and Arnetta—who bravely took a stand by marching for their freedom. Responding to Dr. Martin Luther King’s call to "fill the jails," these young activists drew national attention to the civil rights movement, played a crucial role in the repeal of segregation laws, and inspired countless others to join the fight for their rights. Drawing on extensive research and personal interviews with participants, Cynthia Levinson vividly recounts the pivotal events of the Birmingham Children's March.
