The Boulders In the River

I've been working on my final revision of my historical fiction novel.

In one statement the story is:  Kathy supports equal rights for Blacks, but her Grandma is fearful of the minorties and disagrees with her. How does Kathy stand up to Grandma for what she believes is right. How does Grandma react to Kathy's support of Black's equality.

In 1967, Kathy and her family move to Milwaukee  and live with her Grandma until they kind find their own place. Kathy's Grandma is good to Kathy and her brother Jack. Even though Grandma likes  to spoil them, Kathy is frustrated and angry with Grandma's racist remarks and fear of African Americans. At first Kathy tries to ignore her, but she can no longer keep quiet and tries to persuade Grandma that Blacks deserve equality.

Kathy is a real nature lover and likes to hike and climb on the boulders in the river, but her parents and Grandma don't want her near the river because it's not safe with it's strong currents.  Kathy and Jack ignore their order and they sneak over to the river. They run into WT an African-American. They develop a friendship, spend time with him fishing in the river and rafting. Through WT they learn more about the fair housing protests. WT also tries to talk Kathy into attending one of the marches, but she's afraid. Read furthur to find out if Kathy can change Grandma's mind?
