Summary:
In 1956, one year before federal troops escorted the Little Rock 9 into Central High School, fourteen year old Jo Ann Allen was one of twelve African-American
students
who broke the color barrier and integrated
Clinton
High School in
Tennessee
. At first things went smoothly for the
Clinton
12, but then outside agitators interfered, pitting the townspeople against one another. Uneasiness turned into anger, and even the
Clinton
Twelve themselves wondered if the easier thing to do would be to go back to their old school. Jo Ann--clear-eyed, practical, tolerant, and popular among both
black
and white students--found herself called on as the spokesperson of the group. But what about just being a regular teen? This is the heartbreaking and relatable story of her four months thrust into the national spotlight and as a trailblazer in history. Based on original research and interviews and featuring backmatter with archival materials and notes from the authors on the co-writing process.
