This informational text about the civil rights movement of 1963 captures the inhumane treatment of African American girls who were prisoners in the Leesburg Stockade. The stories of these brave girls will inspire social responsibility. Includes Author’s Note, Timeline, Source Notes, Glossary, Bibliography, Further Information, Index.
