This critical civil rights book for middle-graders examines the little-known Tennessee's Fayette County Tent City Movement in the late 1950s and reveals what is possible when people unite and fight for the right to vote. Conveyed through interconnected stories and told through the eyes of a child, this book combines poetry, prose, and illustrations to shine light on this forgotten history.
