My Home Town
Freedom on the Menu is an excellent book for my grandchildren's understanding of my life growing up in a prejudice environment. It captures the courage of the students from both A&T State and Bennett College who stood up for the right to be served like any other customer. That Woolworth's is now a beautiful museum that honors the people and their struggle.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
