Turning 15 on the Road to Freedom: My Story of the 1965 Selma Voting Rights March by Lynda Blackmon Lowery

4.0

This first-person account of marching in Selma is a valuable resource and will add much to discussions about civil rights. Lynda Blackmon Lowery was the youngest marcher on the road from Selma to Montgomery, facing her fear after being beaten on Bloody Sunday in order to be the person she wanted to be - "a person who would stand up against what was wrong." Her inspiring story will encourage teens and tweens that they can make a difference, too.
