Book Review
Daniel turned on the TV and it said " Atlanta Georgia is in the mid seventies." Momma said " That is only 150 miles from home!" So the Watsons end up going to Burmingham and have a great time but they run into one of the most horrific segregated attacks in history. Hope I encourage you to read The Watsons Go to Burmingham - 1963.
