Birmingham, 1963

 ~As we learn about the Civil Rights Movement, LBJ, MLK, and JFK it only seemed appropriate to read TheWatson's Go To Birmingham!  The author of this book also wrote Bud, Not Buddy.  It is the story of a northern family's trip to visit relatives in the Deep South during the height of the Civil Rights Movement, an ugly period in American History.  There are three siblings, a book worm, a punk, and a sister who loves them both...and two parents who do not know what to do with one of their troubled teenagers!
