I Woke Up with My Mind on Freedom

by Janice Kelsey

Book Overview

In 1963, 16-year-old Janice Wesley made a decision that had a profound affect on her future. She decided to risk it all and go to jail by becoming a foot soldier in the Birmingham, Alabama Children's Crusade to protest the racial segregation that prevailed in her city and throughout the South.

Janice tells the story of her arrest in I Woke Up with My Mind on Freedom, and goes on to describe her role in the new South as an educator and administrator.

Today, she travels the United States, speaking about the horrors of living in the old South while describing how she and other youth made a difference and changed their world.
