|  | White Socks Only by Evelyn Coleman, Tyrone Geter
A grandmother shares a story with her granddaughter about what it was like to grow up in the segregated South. One summer day, when Grandma was a little girl, she snuck into town to see if it was hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk. Feeling thirsty, she went to get a drink at the water fountain. When she saw the Whites Only sign on the fountain, she innocently took off her shoes and stepped up to the fountain in her clean white socks. As she was drinking, she was knocked to the ground by a white man who yelled Can't you read, girl? Seeing the treatment of the little girl, the town's black community gathered together to defy racism forever. Oil paintings illustrate the text. AUTHOR: Evelyn Coleman, Tyrone Geter
