The Other Side by Jacqueline Woodson. Though a fence segregates a pre-Civil Rights Era town, two girls find a way to overcome the separation and become playmates.

Freedom Summer by Deborah Wiles. The friendship between two boys in 1964 underscores the bittersweet aftermath of the passage of the Civil Rights Act when, rather than opening swimming pools and other public spaces to African Americans, many towns and property owners boarded up the doors. The story ends with the promise of rights and freedoms yet to come.

When the Schools Shut Down, by Yolanda Gladden
In 1954, Yolanda Gladden was born in Prince Edward County, Virginia, the same year that the Supreme Court handed down the Brown v. Board of Education decision, mandating the desegregation of schools. Yet in 1959, when Yolanda was old enough to begin her formal education, local authorities decided to close the county's schools rather than integrate them. Some in the Black community protested in the streets, while others organized schools to educate their children. Besides traditional subjects, Yolanda learned Black history in the basement of First Baptist Church. And in 1964, when the county was forced to reopen and desegregate its schools, she was well prepared academically and proud of her heritage. Spotlights an often-overlooked aspect of civil rights history.
