About this product

Product Information

In this essential autobiographical account by one of the Civil Rights Movement's most powerful figures, Melba Pattillo Beals of the Little Rock Nine explores not only the oppressive force of racism, but the ability of young people to change ideas of race and identity. In 1957, well before Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech, Melba Pattillo Beals and eight other teenagers became iconic symbols for the Civil Rights Movement and the dismantling of Jim Crow in the American South as they integrated Little Rock's Central High School in the wake of the landmark 1954 Supreme Court ruling, Brown v. Board of Education. Throughout her harrowing ordeal, Melba was taunted by her schoolmates and their parents, threatened by a lynch mob's rope, attacked with lighted sticks of dynamite, and injured by acid sprayed in her eyes. But through it all, she acted with dignity and courage, and refused to back down. Warriors Don ' t Cry is, at times, a difficult but necessary reminder of the valuable lessons we can learn from our nation's past. It is a story of courage and the bravery of a handful of young, black students who used their voices to influence change during a turbulent time.

  • Warriors Don't Cry by Melba Pattillo Beals

    I like the book beause a previous course got me interested in reading history boos. It's so crazy all the things blacks had to go through because of slavery. I decided to buy it because I need it for a course and I think I'll like it.

  • Great!

    The book was an amazing, hilarious, and inspiring book. There was nothing about it that I didn't like. I highly recommend anyone interested in reading it!

  • Intersting

    Of all the books I've read for college, this book was a good choice. It was interesting and kept me reading without falling asleep!
