Turning 15 on the Road to Freedom: My Story of the 1965 Selma Voting Rights March by Lynda Blackmon Lowery
5.0
A fantastic plain spoken, deceptively simple, and extremely moving & inspirational story from the youngest marcher on Montgomery in 1965.
A part that especially stuck with me was the part about all the children activists packing bologna sandwiches & penny candy every day to eat in jail (where they were sent nearly daily).
The photos and drawings are also fantastic.
Highly recommend to children, teens, and adults interested in a personal take on civil rights history.
