The Watsons Go to Birmingham–1963: 25th Anniversary Edition

Read more Authors Note by Christopher Paul Curtis Though they were turbulent times, Ive always felt the late sixties were a halcyon period of American history. An era most nobly represented by the Freedom Riders, a group of courageous young African-American and white people who put their lives on the line for the civil rights of all Americans. Ive seen almost no evidence of that spirit since. Imagine my surprise and joy as I watched recent news reports of the resurgence of that spirit through the Black Lives Matter movement. As I witnessed an army of young African-American, white, Latinx, and Asian faces in the streets of cities across the world demanding justice. All triggered improbably by the horrific and tragic homicide of one black man, George Floyd. It looks as though the times they are a-changing. Im moved to tears when I think that even one of these brave young people may have taken to heart the words I wrote 25 years ago in this books epilogue: These freedom fighters are the true American heroes the boys and girls, the women and men who have seen that things are wrong and have not been afraid to ask Why cant we change this?
