The Youngest Marcher: The Story of Audrey Faye Hendricks, a Young Civil Rights Activist

Meet the youngest known child to be arrested for a civil rights protest in Birmingham, Alabama, 1963, in this moving picture book that proves youâ€™re never too little to make a difference.

Nine-year-old Audrey Faye Hendricks intended to go places and do things like anybody else.

So when she heard grown-ups talk about wiping out Birminghamâ€™s segregation laws, she spoke up. As she listened to the preacherâ€™s words, smooth as glass, she sat up tall. And when she heard the planâ€”picket those white stores! March to protest those unfair laws! Fill the jails!â€”she stepped right up and said, Iâ€™ll do it! She was going to j-a-a-il!

Audrey Faye Hendricks was confident and bold and brave as can be, and hers is the remarkable and inspiring story of one childâ€™s role in the Civil Rights Movement.
