Which sentence best belongs in a summary of We've Got a Job by Cynthia Levinson? Though many of the students decided to participate in the children's march, some, like Wash, had endured too much pain at the hands of the local police and decided to watch rather than participate. There was a march in the 1960s that involved a lot of school-aged children who thought they needed to take a stand against laws that were unfair to a large part of the population. Set in Birmingham, Alabama, the book describes the experiences of several young people as they participated in the children's march of 1963 to take a stand against racial segregation. Because the book contains so many quotes that relate first-person experiences, it is an immensely moving, entertaining, and educational book to read.
