The Watsons Go to Birmingham -- 1963 by Christopher Paul Curtis.
This book is about a family of blacks living in a segregated world. They live in Flint, and go to Birmingham. In Birmingham a bomb goes off in a church.
My favorite part was when Byron got Mexican style hair.
I liked this book because it was funny. For instance Byron got all of his hair cut off.
note: This is the book Eli was reading in the picture at Busboys and Poets. The bomb he is talking about is the one that blew up the 16th street church in Birmingham, Alabama. He really enjoyed this book and read it in about two days.
