This HF is interspersed with actual people and events of the mid 1960s when young men and women came to the American South as Freedom Fighters. Their goal was to educate African Americans about using their voting rights. Turned out to be deadly for many😓 #freedomfighters #fallfinds @Eggs
pickSequel to Countdown—these were my teen years. Mostly about the struggle for integration in the South. Freedom Schools were set up by volunteers in southern states, which encouraged all races of citizens to push for voting rights. Being an ebook, there were plenty of photos & illustrations that made it a vivid experience. #bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks Sorry Sarah-will be blowing up your feed w. reviews to catch up 🤪
pickI have now read all 3 in this 60s trilogy and I cannot tell you how good each one of them is. This one is set in 1964 in Mississippi when young people from all over came to the south to set up voter registration. Unbelievable what we are not taught in school about this time! These books need to be read!
You say you want a revolution

You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world🎶

pickIt has taken me four years to finish this book, but it was so, so good. I love the way the author weaves the historical elements in with the fictional story. Ready for the third in the trilogy, about Vietnam. I‘m sure it will be published someday!
Forgot I had an appointment today, & happy for unplanned reading time!
so-soThis is a relatively engaging Civil Rights novel. The format, like the first book in the series is original- but not executed so well in this one. There are some complex characters which are well crafted. Ultimately this novel suffers from poor pacing. The last 100 pages are well done, but the first 400 could have been condensed by half.
pickAmazing part two of the 60s trilogy.
