It all started with a trip.
The year was 1958. A little girl named Ayanna Najuma was 7 years old. She and 19 other kids went on a trip far from their home in Oklahoma. They went up north to New York City.
In New York, the kids noticed something. White people and African American people could use the same water fountains. They could eat in the same restaurants. They could even sleep next door to each other in hotels.
