Summary

In the book the Watsons take a trip to visit their grandma in Birmingham. There was terrible people in Birmingham. People were so racist they bombed a church that had four little African American girls inside who were killed. A lot of people were badly injured. As I have created my project I have learned that black people were badly treated. They couldn't use the same bathrooms or drinking fountains as the white people. If they did one thing wrong the white people would throw them in jail, beat them, or do other terrible things to them. We watched a movie as a class about Birmingham and it showed all the terrible racism going on then. People hated the blacks strongly. They treated them like they were worth nothing. African Americans were slaves and if they did something wrong their masters could do anything with them. They were very strong people who stood up for what was right.
