Young Janie is a troublemaker, forced to go along with her father to the March on Washington in August 1963. She’s never spent much time before with blacks-who seem from the TV news reports to be troublemakers, too. Now, as one of the few whites on a bus headed to Washington, Janie sees her fellow travelers encountering discrimination. Ultimately she decides that some trouble is well worth making.
