Title: This was a wonderful experience!
Review: Reading this novel was a great experience and it gave me a new look on segregation in the mid 1900's. It traveled a different road by really developing the characters of an african-american family with only one racist act in the entire novel. The fact that it was a children's book gave it a great perspective from little Kenny's shoes. Most of the books and movies show how racist it was by presenting every racist thing that happened. But in "The Watsons Go to Birmingham" it shows a normal african-american family with only one racist act, the church bombing. It showed, more than anything I have ever seen or read, how a racist thing like the bombing can affect a normal family. Reading this book was a wonderful experience and it has given me a very new look on racism and segregation.
