That was the start of a year that would become one of the most pivotal years in the history of America. As the daughter of Jackie Robinson, Sharon had incredible access to some of the most important events of the era, including her family hosting several fundraisers for Martin Luther King Jr. at their home in Connecticut, other Civil Rights heroes of the day calling Jackie Robinson for advice and support, and even attending the March on Washington for Freedom and Jobs. But Sharon was also dealing with her own personal problems like going through puberty, being one of the only black children in her wealthy Connecticut neighborhood, and figuring out her own role in the fight for equality. This memoir follows Sharon as she goes through that incredible year of her life"-- |cProvided by publisher. 521 Ages: 8 to 12. 521 Grades: 4 to 6. 600 10 Robinson, Sharon,|d1950-|xChildhood and youth|vJuvenile literature. 600 10 Robinson, Jackie,|d1919-1972|xFamily|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 African American girls|zConnecticut|zStamford|vBiography |vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Coming of age|zConnecticut|zStamford|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 African Americans|xCivil rights|xHistory|y20th century |vJuvenile literature. 650 0 African American girls|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 African Americans|vBiography|vJuvenile literature. 650 1 Women|vBiography|vJuvenile literature. 651 0 Stamford (Conn.)|xRace relations|xHistory|y20th century |vJuvenile literature.
