Review
"The authors use the 1964 murder of three civil-rights activists in Mississippi as a touchstone for the entrenched inequities in the South that led to the civil-rights movement. The dramatic focal point of the book is a decision: three young men, all activists for the Mississippi Freedom Project, two white and one African American, are driving on a rural road. A cop car flashes its lights behind them, ordering them to pull over. In the context of the era, when a traffic stop could mean a beating or murder, the decision to pull over was a grave one. In this short, gripping book, the authors juxtapose chapters that are fictional, centering on this tense decision, with chapters that explain the background of the segregated South and the civil-rights movement. The photo-realist style of the full-color illustrations ratchets up the tension. Complementary to other young-adult synopses of the civil-rights struggle, such as Ellen Levine's Freedom's Children (1993)."
