Warriors Don?t Cry
comes an ardent and profound?childhood memoir?of growing up while facing adversity in the Jim Crow South. Long before she was one of the Little Rock Nine, Melba Pattillo Beals was a warrior. Frustrated by the laws that kept African-Americans separate but very much unequal to whites, she had questions. Why couldn?t she drink from a ?whites only? fountain?

But Beals had the heart of a fighter?and the knowledge that her true place was a free one. With emotive photos, this memoir paints a vivid picture of Beals?s powerful early journey on the road to becoming a champion for equal rights, an acclaimed journalist, a best-selling author, and the recipient of this country?s highest recognition, the Congressional Gold Medal. Includes a Q&A with Melba and bonus audio clip.
