An incredible memoir from Sharon Robinson about one of the most important years of the civil rights movement.
In January 1963, Sharon Robinson turns thirteen the night before George Wallace declares on national television segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever in his inauguration speech as governor of Alabama. It is the beginning of a year that will change the course of American history.

As the daughter of baseball legend Jackie Robinson, Sharon has opportunities that most people would never dream of experiencing. Her family hosts multiple fund-raisers at their home in Connecticut for the work that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is doing. Sharon sees her first concert after going backstage at the Apollo Theater. And her whole family attends the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.

But things don't always feel easy for Sharon. She is one of the only Black children in her wealthy Connecticut neighborhood. Her older brother, Jackie Robinson Jr., is having a hard time trying to live up to his father's famous name, causing some rifts in the family. And Sharon feels isolated-struggling to find her role in the civil rights movement that is taking place across the country.

This is the story of how one girl finds her voice in the fight for justice and equality.

Lightweight bur actually hydrating
Style: 3.38 Fl Oz (Non SPF), Style: 3.38 Fl Oz (Non SPF)
I’ve tried so many moisturizers that either felt greasy, heavy, or just sat on top of my skin, but this La Roche-Posay moisturizer honestly surprised me. It’s super lightweight, absorbs quickly, and leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated without feeling oily. My face feels smooth and refreshed after using it instead of sticky or coated. It layers really well and doesn’t make my skin feel overloaded. Definitely one of the best moisturizers I’ve used so far.

Works well
Style: Shampoo, Size: 7 Ounce
This shampoo made a noticeable difference way faster than I expected. My scalp felt less itchy after just a couple uses and the flakes have improved a lot. I also like that it leaves my hair feeling clean instead of overly stripped. Definitely worth trying if other dandruff shampoos haven’t worked well for you.

Obliterates stubborn dandruff at the source, but grab a heavy conditioner.
Style: Shampoo, Size: 7 Ounce, Style: Shampoo, Size: 7 Ounce
If standard drugstore dandruff shampoos aren't working for you, this is the heavy artillery. I put a banana next to the bottle in the picture for scale, which reminds me—this stuff will literally stop your scalp from peeling like one. Instead of just washing away loose flakes, the active ingredient (Ketoconazole) actually kills the underlying fungal overgrowth that causes the itching and flaking in the first place. WHY IT'S A STAPLE: • It works incredibly fast. Most people see a massive reduction in severe flaking and scalp redness after just two or three uses. • It actually has a very clean, fresh scent, completely avoiding that awful medicinal or sulfur smell you get with coal tar shampoos. CRITICAL USAGE WARNING: • Because this is a serious, active treatment, it is incredibly drying to the actual hair shaft. If you use this without following up with a high-quality, heavy hydrating conditioner, your hair will dry out and feel like brittle straw. You only need to use it twice a week to maintain a clear scalp. THE BOTTOM LINE: The absolute undisputed heavyweight champion for eliminating stubborn dandruff, provided you pair it with a strong conditioner to protect your hair.
