Let the Children March
- ... that the illustrator of the picture book Let the Children March was inspired by documentary coverage of the Birmingham's Children's Crusade? Source: "Many Februarys ago, I watched the civil rights movement documentary Eyes on the Prize with my parents. I cringed in my chair the first time I saw children being sprayed by hoses. [...] I hope my efforts to honor the past--the Birmingham Children's Crusade of 1963--and will inspire, influence and intrigue the future--the next generation." Artist's statement from the book itself.
- ALT1:... that the author of the picture book Let the Children March left out "truly upsetting details" about the Birmingham's Children's Crusade to avoid scaring children? Source: "We didn’t want to tell a cheery story that left out the fear and horror of that week. But we also didn’t want to tell all the truly upsetting details and scare young readers. It was a delicate balance, and personally, I think it’s something we got right." Source:interview at Biracial Bookworms
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/1954 Italian Karakoram expedition to K2
- Comment: This nomination is a little late, but I'm nominating it because of the need for more Black history month DYKs for this month.
