Long before she was one of the Little Rock Nine, Melba Pattillo
Beals was a warrior. Frustrated by the laws that kept
African-Americans separate but very much unequal to whites, she had
questions. Why couldn't she drink from a 'whites only' fountain?
Why couldn't she feel safe beyond home - or even within the walls
of church? Adults all told her: Hold your tongue. Be patient. Know
your place. But Beals had the heart of a fighter - and the
knowledge that her true place was a free one. With emotive photos,
this memoir paints a vivid picture of Beals' powerful early journey
on the road to becoming a champion for equal rights, an acclaimed
journalist, a best-selling author, and the recipient of this
country's highest recognition, the Congressional Gold Medal.
Includes a Q&A with Melba and bonus audio clip.
