Description

Published in 1995, Warriors Don't Cry is an autobiographical account by Melba Pattillo Beals that explores the oppressive force of racism and the ability of young people to change ideas of race and identity. In 1957, Melba and eight other teenagers became iconic symbols for the Civil Rights Movement as they integrated Little Rock's Central High School.

Throughout her harrowing ordeal, Melba faced taunts from schoolmates and parents, threats from a lynch mob, attacks with dynamite, and injuries from acid sprayed in her eyes. Yet she acted with dignity and courage, refusing to back down. This book is a difficult but necessary reminder of the valuable lessons we can learn from our nation's past.

A story of courage and bravery, Warriors Don't Cry sheds light on the turbulent time when young black students used their voices to influence change.
