Summary
Details

This book tells the story of an African American family's determination to provide their two girls with classical piano lessons at the finest musical institution in Baltimore. Indeed a rarity during the 60's and 70's. Why? Because, at that time the African American student population at Peabody Preparatory was a mere five percent.

Our parents always kept us abreast of the civil rights marches and protests. We were fully aware of the historical facts about eating at the Woolworth's lunch counter. Our monthly Woolworth's lunch experiences kept these thoughts vividly in our minds.

Another primary goal of this book is to empower readers with knowledge about growing up in the midst of civil rights unrest. In addition, this story tells how two young African American girls triumphed and studied at the prestigious Peabody Preparatory Institute of Music.
