Gwen didn’t care that she had yucky, lumpy porridge for breakfast; or the fact that her legs were dirty; or that her mama fussed at her while combing her hair. Gwen was too excited! She was going to the Oklahoma City Zoo. But when she got to the zoo, she had to use a different entrance gate, restroom, and water fountain. She couldn’t even eat at the zoo diner. Her mom said it was because of “Old Jim Crow.” Gwen wanted to know who was this person called “Old Jim Crow,” and what did he look like. Even the animals got involved trying to figure out who was this crow named Jim. When Gwen learns the truth, she began to wonder what the world would look like if Jim Crow disappeared. Gwen found out that she really did care! In 1958 Mukes along with twelve other youths and their advisor, Mrs. Clara Luper, changed the course of history with the first Sit-In Movement in Oklahoma City.
