But on his twelfth birthday, his point of view begins to change. It all starts when he comes face-to-face with one of the worst drivers in town while riding his new bicycle--an accident that would have been tragic if Mr. Meriwether Hunter hadn't been around to push him out of harm's way. After the accident, Gabriel and Meriwether become friends when they both start working at Gabriel's dad's auto shop, and Meriwether lets a secret slip: He served in the army's all-black 761st Tank Battalion in World War II. Soon Gabriel learns why it's so dangerous for Meriwether to talk about his heroism in front of white people, and Gabriel's eyes are finally opened to the hard truth about Birdsong--and his understanding of what it means to be a hero will never be the same." -- Back cover. 541 $d 20231201. 650 $a Race relations $v Juvenile fiction. 650 $a Prejudices $v Juvenile fiction. 650 $a Veterans $v Juvenile fiction. 650 $a Friendship $v Juvenile fiction. 650 $a African Americans $v Juvenile fiction. 650 $a Families $z South Carolina $v Juvenile fiction. 650 $a African Americans $x History $y 20th century. 650 $a African American veterans $z Southern States $v Juvenile fiction. 651 $a South Carolina $x History $y 20th century $v Juvenile fiction. 651 $a United States $x Race relations $v Juvenile fiction. 655 7 $a Juvenile works. $2 fast 655 7 $a Military fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409040917.0 952 $l FRPA224 $d 20240222010527.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=19492322D15011EEB8B2C37F5EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
