\"In February 1968, two African American sanitation workers were killed by unsafe equipment in Memphis, Tennessee.

Inspired by the memories of a teacher who participated in the strike as a child, author Alice Faye Duncan reveals the story of the Memphis sanitation strike from the perspective of a young girl with a ... combination of poetry and prose\"-- Provided by publisher.
