How reliable is a work of historical fiction? It's impossible to know without knowing something about the historical period it portrays. Research the civil rights

events beyond Rosa Parks and Birmingham. Compare what you learned to the
characters in the story. Do you think the characters in "Everything that Rises Must
Converge" accurately represent this time in history?
