- Synopsis
- An enthralling account of a young boy&’s struggle to help freedom triumph over fear in the 1940s American South. It&’s 1947, and twelve-year-old Clyde Thomason is proud to have an older brother who guards the Freedom Train—a train that is traveling to all forty-eight states carrying the country&’s most important documents, including the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. Clyde hasn&’t told his parents he won&’t perform the Freedom Pledge because of stage fright, nor has he mentioned his confusing friendship with a boy of color. So when the townspeople threaten William&’s family, Clyde has a choice to make: Will he keep quiet, or stand up for real freedom?Ideal for classrooms, Freedom Train contains historical photos of the Freedom Train and its guards, as well as an author&’s note that provides additional information about the history of the Freedom Train.
