1963. The year she turned ten. A little
girl from Birmingham remembers the
events of this year that will be in her
memory forever. It was a year of
fire hoses, dogs and songs. It was a
year of dreams, mass meetings, starched
white dresses
and Sunday Schools. It was the year
that four young girls lost their lives
doing what came natural to them...going
to church. With photographs that
reflect a time of trouble and dreams,
Weatherford tells the
story of a little girl who witnesses
history at its 'best and at its' worst.

Birmingham 1963 is a awesome book and I loved it. I think everyone should read it. It shows what blacks had to go through when the United States was segregated and the Ku Klux Klans doings. It was sad and there was sorrow but it was still a very good book.
