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?
