These Hands is a children's book that shows the lovely evolution of a grandfather telling his grandson about gaining civil rights. For example, on the first few pages the grandfather says "Did you know these hands used to tie a triple bowline knot in three seconds flat?". In the middle he talks about how his hands were not allowed to touch bakery items or really anything that wasn't cleaning supplies. He then makes the uplifting claims that him and his community protested and made petitions to reverse these horrible lack of rights for people of color. In the last few pages, the man says "Now any hands can mix the bread dough, no matter their color". This book shows the unfortunate reality that people of color faced very extreme circumstances, but then it ends on a better note where it talks about what people of color's hands can now do after people fought for their rights.
