Description
A thorough and impassioned account of the Selma to Montgomery march for voting rights from Newbery Medalist Russell Freedman. 1965. Selma, Alabama. The Edmund Pettus Bridge. This is the story of Bloody Sunday and the moments leading up to and after this fateful day in the fight for African American voting rights. Across the segregated South, African Americans were denied the most fundamental right in a democracy--the right to vote.
Tired of reprisals for attempting to register to vote, Selma's Black community began to protest. A march was planned for people, young and old, to march from Selma to Montgomery for voting rights. But the march quickly became the site of horrific struggle as law officers brutally attacked peaceful demonstrators. When vivid footage and photographs of the violence was broadcast throughout the world, it attracted outrage and spurred demonstrators to complete the march at any cost. Newbery Medalist Russell Freedman has written a riveting account of this monumental event in the fight for civil rights. Illustrated with more than forty archival photographs, this is an essential chronicle of events every young person should know. ALA Notable Children's Book
