"The Watsons Go to Birmingham - 1963" follows the journey of the Watson family, an African American family living in Flint, Michigan, during the early 1960s. Narrated by ten-year-old Kenny, the story captures the dynamics of his quirky family, including his overprotective mother, his wisecracking older brother Byron, and his sweet younger sister Joetta. When Byron gets into trouble, their parents decide to take the family on a road trip to Birmingham, Alabama, to visit Grandma. The trip unfolds against the backdrop of the Civil Rights Movement, leading to pivotal events that profoundly impact their lives and understanding of social justice.
