520    Hoping that the arrival of Freedom Riders in her town will
       help her community shed its antiquated views, thirteen-
       year-old Billie is forced to confront her own mindset when
       things turn tragic. 
520    Personally I don't mind them coming here but they might 
       bother some of my customers. Thirteen-year old Billie Sims
       has heard things like this all her life, from the grocer 
       down the road, from her neighbors at church, from her 
       parents. But Billie never understood what all the fuss was
       about. Why do blacks and whites have separate entrances to
       the bus station in her town of Anniston, Alabama? Why 
       can't her friend Jarmaine, have a milk shake with her at 
       Wikle's? When Billie hears about a group calling 
       themselves the Freedom Riders passing through Anniston to 
       protest segregation on buses, she thinks change could be 
       coming. But instead of embracing change, Billie's town 
       responds with violence, and she finds herself at Forsyth &
       Sons Grocery watching a bus burn. Shocked by the actions 
       of people she thought she knew, she realizes that freedom 
       has a cost. But is she brave enough to stand up and fight 
       for it?
