The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd
This novel is set against the backdrop of the Civil Rights Movement in the particularly tumultuous summer of 1964. The movement for civil rights, though always important, came to a political head during this period in American history. At this time, the rights of minorities were called into question with regard to equal rights under the U.S. Constitution.

it thinks this is a good book. The name of the book is BOOTS ON THE GROUND. By Clint Willis. It’s a very good book there is a lot of books with the same name. so if you are willing to read it. Make sure you look for the author, which is Clint Willis. This is a very big book. It is will take you a while to read. The book is about the war of Afghanistan and Iraq. And about the personnel of the real troops in the war. And how it is on and off the battle fields.
This applies to us history by. This war s going to make history just like the civil war did. And how world war 1-2 did. If it wasn’t for wars the nation would be tookin over. This war is about iraq and Afghanistan.
