About the CYRM California Young Reader Medal Program
Let the Children March, by Monica Clark-Robinson
Nearly 55 years ago, an anti-segregation march that came to be known as the Children's Crusade was instrumental in pushing President John F. Kennedy and Congress to adopt the Civil Rights Act. That event is chronicled as a semi-fictional narrative from the perspective of one of the young participants in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1963. Bolstered by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assurances, the children endured snarling dogs, water hoses, and jail, emerging exhausted but undefeated. The illustrations bring to life the determination of the marchers without sugarcoating the reality. This story remains relevant as the struggle for justice continues today. Find out more
