challenging emotional inspiring medium-paced

5.0

A worthy conclusion to an excellent trilogy.  This third volume focuses on Selma and the struggle for voting rights, and delves into the complexities of the relationships between different individuals and groups within the civil rights movement.  This is far from my first book on this topic, but I still learned a lot.  5 stars for all three installments - highly recommend.

adventurous challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

(Review of all 3 volumes) These aren't easy books to read, but they're important. Perhaps envisioned as a snapshot of where racism stood in the 40s-60s and how far we've come, right now the series reads like a blueprint for what US citizens of conscience will need to do as the government erodes civil rights for people of pretty much every identity and police and private violence continues to run rampant (and seems to increase every day).

4.5

Such and important read. I think people forget just how recent this was. I learned a lot like I didn’t fully know what Bloody Sunday was. Just all these people were/are so strong and amazing. This book made me so mad and sad, but also hopeful for the future.
