"The Youngest Marcher: The Story of Audrey Faye Hendricks" tells the inspiring true story of Audrey Faye Hendricks, a courageous young girl who became one of the youngest participants in the civil rights movement during the Birmingham Campaign in 1963. At just nine years old, Audrey felt compelled to stand up against segregation and injustice in her community. The book captures her bravery and determination as she joins peaceful protests, facing the challenges and dangers of advocating for equality. Through vivid illustrations and engaging storytelling, it highlights the strength of youth in the fight for civil rights and the impact one child's voice can have on history.
