Warriors Don't Cry: The Searing Memoir of the Battle to Integrate Little Rock's Central High Mass market paperbound - 2007

by Melba Pattillo Beals

Originally published more than a decade ago, this searing account of the 1957 integration of Central High School in Little Rock--an ALA Nonfiction Book of the Year--is written by one of the black teenagers chosen to become warriors on the front lines of the Civil Rights Movement.


First line
