The 1963 Birmingham Children's March was a turning point in American civil rights history. Black Americans had had enough of segregation and police brutality, but with their lives and jobs at stake, most adults were hesitant to protest the city's racist culture. So the fight for civil rights lay in the hands of children like Audrey Hendricks, Wash Booker, James Stewart, and Arnetta Streeter. We've Got a Job tells the little-known story of the four thousand Black elementary, middle, and high school students who answered Dr. Martin Luther King's call to \"fill the jails.\" Between May 2 and May 11, 1963, these young people voluntarily went to jail, drawing national attention to the cause, helping bring about the repeal of segregation laws, and inspiring thousands of other young people to demand their rights. Drawing on her extensive research and in-depth interviews with participants, award-winning author Cynthia Levinson recreates the events of the Birmingham Children's March from a new and very personal perspective. Archival photography and informational sidebars throughout. Back matter includes an afterword, author's note, timeline, map, and bibliography.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9781561458448","publication_date":"20150203","publisher":"Candlewick Press","slug":"we-ve-got-a-job","subtitle":"The 1963 Birmingham Children's March","title":"We've Got a Job"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"JNF053140","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Prejudice & Racism","score":0.7633,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"JNF018010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"African American Life (U.S.)","score":0.7575,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"JNF053270","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Social Topics / Civil & Human Rights","score":0.7562,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"JNF053140","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Prejudice & Racism","score":0.7633,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"JNF018010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"African American Life (U.S.)","score":0.7575,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"JNF053270","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Social Topics / Civil & Human Rights","score":0.7562,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"JNF018010","confidence_band":"high","label":"African American Life (U.S.)","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"JNF025210","confidence_band":"high","label":"20th Century U.S.","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"JNF053140","confidence_band":"high","label":"Prejudice & Racism","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Prejudice & Racism","score":0.7633,"slug":"prejudice-racism"},{"label":"African American Life (U.S.)","score":0.7575,"slug":"african-american-life-u-s"},{"label":"Social Topics","score":0.7562,"slug":"social-topics"}],"reader_fit":["Good for readers interested in youth-led civil rights activism","Readers seeking a personal account of the Birmingham Children's March"],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Lynda Blackmon Lowery"],"book_id":"9780147512161","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780147512161.jpg?v=db4e18eb58697f44","score":0.7078,"title":"Turning 15 on the Road to Freedom","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780147512161"},{"authors":["Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr."],"book_id":"9780451527530","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780451527530.jpg?v=aab6376f9d4027ed","score":0.6862,"title":"Why We Can't Wait","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780451527530"},{"authors":["Christopher Paul Curtis"],"book_id":"9780385321754","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780385321754.jpg?v=f83e6684fed77fb4","score":0.6812,"title":"The Watsons Go to Birmingham--1963","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780385321754"},{"authors":["Melba Pattillo Beals"],"book_id":"9781416948827","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781416948827.jpg?v=773f09084cf2a147","score":0.6759,"title":"Warriors Don't Cry","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781416948827"}],"topics":[{"evidence_refs":["keyword:american history books"],"label":"History","score":0.4536,"slug":"history"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:black children's books"],"label":"Children","score":0.2129,"slug":"children"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:black children's books"],"label":"Black","score":0.1007,"slug":"black"},{"evidence_refs":["phrase_map_match"],"label":"Civil Rights","score":0.0074,"slug":"civil-rights"}],"what_you_get":["Themes: Youth activism, Civil rights, Segregation and police brutality.","Themes: History, Children, Black.","Reading lane: Prejudice & Racism and African American Life (u.s.)."]},"llm_signals":{"confidence":0.96,"pacing":"unknown","reader_fit":["Readers interested in youth-led civil rights activism","Readers seeking a personal account of the Birmingham Children's March"],"themes":["Youth activism","Civil rights","Segregation and police brutality"],"tropes":[]},"source_presence":{"amazon":true,"book_detail":true,"goodreads":true,"llm_signals":true,"similarity_seed":true},"stats":{"amazon_ratings_count":119,"goodreads_ratings_count":1619,"goodreads_reviews_count":303,"quality_score":0.9393}}
