In "The Watsons Go to Birmingham – 1963," ten-year-old Kenny Watson narrates the story of his African American family living in Flint, Michigan. The Watsons consist of his parents, Daniel and Wilona, his older brother Byron, who frequently gets into trouble, and his younger sister Joetta. Concerned about Byron's behavior, the family decides to take a road trip to Birmingham, Alabama, to visit their grandmother. The trip occurs against the backdrop of the Civil Rights Movement, and the family experiences both the warmth of family bonds and the harsh realities of racism, culminating in a tragic event that profoundly impacts them all.
