We Are Your Children Too

In this compelling nonfiction middle grade audiobook, listeners delve into the significant yet troubling history of Prince Edward County, Virginia, the only U.S. locality to officially deny public education to its citizens. Following the landmark Brown v. Board of Education ruling in 1954, the all-White school board opted to close public schools instead of integrating, leaving Black students and their families to seek alternative education. Against this backdrop, many young activists emerged, championing the fundamental right to learn and illustrating the resilience of those who fought for their education amidst adversity.
