Artifact
The Watsons Go to Birmingham-1963 is a children's book authored by Christopher Paul Curtis and published in 1995. This book is a fictional view of life in 1963 through the eyes of 10 year old Kenny Watson. He narrates his life and shares experiences of being part of the "Weird" Watson family. The family later travels down south to Birmingham, Alabama where Kenny witnesses the effects of the civil rights movement at its worst.

Topic
The topic I am focusing on for this first paper is desegregation in public schools and the differences between states.

Topic
The topic I am choosing for my second research paper is to examine the effects of the Civil Rights movement on children and how the book displays these effects on the children in the Watson family.
