They said if you want the chickens to like you give them treats. I gave them treats and called the sweet names every chance I could. Now we have a problem. I was trying to do yard work that involved heavy lifting, and there they were right under foot..BAWK! BAAAAAAWWWWWKKKK! Cluck cluck. I finally had to throw a bunch of treats on one side of the yard and rush to get my task done before they came back for more. It felt like a game of Beat The Clock..oh no…I’m gonna say it…. BEAT THE CLUCK!!! Oh Ya!! I just did that!!

Carolyn Maull McKinstry
Genre: Biographies & Memoirs | History | Politics & Social Sciences | Religion & Spirituality
FREE for a limited time
On September 15, 1963, a Klan-planted bomb went off in the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama. Fourteen-year-old Carolyn Maull was just a few feet away when the bomb exploded, killing four of her friends in the girl’s rest room she had just exited. It was one of the seminal moments in the Civil Rights movement, a sad day in American history . . . and the turning point in a young girl’s life.
While the World Watched is a poignant and gripping eyewitness account of life in the Jim Crow South—from the bombings, riots and assassinations to the historic marches and triumphs that characterized the Civil Rights movement.
A uniquely moving exploration of how racial relations have evolved over the past 5 decades, While the World Watched is an incredible testament to how far we’ve come and how far we have yet to go.
