North Carolina History
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This story is compelling as it tells the story of six activists and how they are connected by the tragic Greensboro Massacre. I learned about the protests and history of activism in North Carolina and the injustices that these brave students and workers faced. I enjoyed reading the book because the voices changed throughout allowing the reader to understand how each character became involved in activism leading up to the Greensboro Massacre.
