Thirteen-year-old Billie Simms doesn’t think her place of birth of Anniston, Alabama, will have to be segregated, but few of the city’s residents share her opinion. So when Billie learns that the Freedom Riders, a group of peace activists riding interstate buses to protest segregation, can be traveling through Anniston on their solution to Bernard Law Montgomery, she thinks that possibly change is in spite of everything coming and her quiet little the city will shed itself of its antiquated views. But if the bus stops, Anniston residents show just how deep their racism runs. The Freedom Riders will resume their ride to Bernard Law Montgomery and Billie is now faced with a choice: stand idly by in silence or take a stand for what she believes in.
