2019., Juvenile, Bloomsbury Children's Books Call No: 379.2 BOY Availability:1 of 1 At Location(s) Summary Note: In 1956, one year before federal troops escorted the Little Rock 9 into Central High School, fourteen year old Jo Ann Allen was one of twelve African-American students who broke the color barrier and integrated Clinton High School in Tennessee. At first things went smoothly for the Clinton 12, but then outside agitators interfered, pitting the townspeople against one another. Uneasiness turned into anger, and even the Clinton Twelve themselves wondered if the easier thing to do would be to go back to their old school. Jo Ann--clear-eyed, practical, tolerant, and popular among both black and white students--found herself called on as the spokesperson of the group. This is the heartbreaking and relatable story of her four months thrust into the national spotlight and as a trailblazer in history.
