We will wrap up The Watsons go to Birmingham—1963 this week. We will discuss the historical circumstances that the family experienced (the 16th Street Church Bombing), as well as their response to their trauma. Once we have finished reading the book, we will watch the movie to compare the two tellings of the story. If you’d like to know more about the movie, please visit Common Sense Media to see parent and children reviews (https://www.commonsensemedia.org/movie-reviews/the-watsons-go-to-birmingham).
