For a young boy growing up in the segregated south, a town drinking
fountain becomes the source of an epiphany.
It's a scorching hot day, and going into town with Grandma is one
of Michael's favorite things. When the bus pulls up, they climb in
and pay their fare, get out, walk to the back door, and climb in
again. By the time they arrive in town, Michael's throat is as dry
as a bone, so he runs to the water fountain. But after a few sips,
the warm, rusty water tastes bad. Why is the kid at the "Whites
Only" fountain still drinking? Is his water clear and refreshingly
cool? No matter how much trouble Michael might get into, he's
determined to find out for himself. Based on a transformative
experience co-author Michael Bandy had as a boy, this compelling
story sheds light on the reality of segregation through a child's
eyes, while showing the powerful awareness that comes from daring
to question the way things are.
