Friendship defies racism for two boys in this stirring story of the
"Freedom Summer" that followed the passage of the Civil Rights Act
of 1964. Now in a 50th Anniversary Edition with a refreshed cover
and a new introduction.
"John Henry swims better than anyone I know. "
"He crawls like a catfish, "
"blows bubbles like a swamp monster, "
"but he doesn't swim in the town pool with me."
"He's not allowed."
Joe and John Henry are a lot alike. They both like shooting
marbles, they both want to be firemen, and they both love to swim.
But there's one important way they're different: Joe is white and
John Henry is black, and in the South in 1964, that means John
Henry isn't allowed to do everything his best friend is.
Then a law is passed that forbids segregation and opens the town
pool to everyone. Joe and John Henry are so excited they race each
other there...only to discover that it takes more than a new law to
change people's hearts.
This 50th Anniversary Edition of a cherished and touching story
includes a new introduction and a refreshed cover.
