THE CHILDREN

Narrator Bahni Turpin narrates a heartrending and uplifting true story of the young men and women who changed the United States forever as they led the Civil Rights movement. Turpin's normally emotive voice is somber and steady as she guides listeners through horrific events ranging from beatings and jail time to surviving bombings. Through Halberstam's historical perspective listeners stay engaged and reflective as opposed to angry at the injustices. This audiobook is perfect for history lovers. Even reluctant high school students will listen to this and become totally engaged with one of the most important stories in American history.
