The book I am in the middle of is called Birmingham 1963. The conflict in the book is a lot of students getting together and making a protest for civil rights. In Chapter 5 the students had this rule that was for the march to be Non Violence, but some of the marchers disobeyed him and there was violence. The police was attacking the marchers and the marchers weren't giving up. People were getting beat, people were going to jail, people were fighting each other, the students and the parents didn't like it. But they didn't give up.
A A-Ha moment happen in the book where the police threatens the Marchers but they didn't care or stop marching. So once they realized they used weapons on the young marchers. Some of the students went to jail but had nothing to loose so they didn't stop until they got what they wanted. In the book it says "The principal of Birmingham's Parker High School even locked the front gates to prevent students from leaving." This shows that the principal of that school, didn't not want the students to take part in the march.
