In "Abby Takes a Stand: 1960" by Patricia C. McKissack, young Abby is determined to make a difference in her segregated community during a pivotal time in American history. As she witnesses the impact of discrimination and injustice, she finds inspiration from the civil rights movement. Abby joins her friends in a peaceful protest to demonstrate their desire for equality and to stand against racism. Through her courage and conviction, she learns about the power of activism, friendship, and the importance of standing up for what is right, all while navigating the challenges of her own adolescence.
