John Henry and Joe do everything together, from shooting marbles to shelling butter beans-and they both love to swim. But in the south in 1964, John Henry, who is black, isn’t allowed to do everything his best friend, who is white, can do. When the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is passed, the town pool is lawfully open to blacks and whites alike for the first time. The excited boys hurry to the pool hoping to swim together. Author’s note. Full-color paintings.
