February 2: We've Got a Job by Cynthia Levinson

We've Got a Job tells the little-known story of the 4,000 black elementary, middle and high school students who voluntarily went to jail in Birmingham, Alabama, in May 1963.

Fulfilling Mahatma Gandhi's and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s precept to "fill the jails," the students succeeded in desegregating one of the most racially violent cities in America. The astonishing events surrounding the Children's March are retold here from the perspectives of four of the original participants.

Written by author Cynthia Levinson, We've Got a Job: The 1963 Birmingham Children's March is the inspiring story of one of the greatest moments in civil rights history as seen through the eyes of four young people who were at the center of the action. Levinson retells the story of how, against the better judgment of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., young people led the civil rights protests in Birmingham, Alabama.
