Blackmon’s brief memoir of the Selma Voting Rights marches packs a major wallop. It’s really beautifully done in its simplicity and straightforwardness, as well as very focused on its message. Turning 15 on the Road to Freedom I picked up on a whim, and I learned much more than I would have expected from such a slim book. Very much worth a read for adults and a must read for kids growing up in the current administration.

If you do audiobooks, this one is stellar. Damaras Obi does a completely beautiful job, especially with the singing. Very much recommended.

This is a young reader edition, but it's wonderful! So informative!
