Aug 07, 2021Depending on the historical education students have already received, the contents of Book Two might be more familiar to them than Book One. The Freedom Riders, Montgomery Children's March, the Selma to Montgomery March, and the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom are all major events that are usually part of Civil Rights education.

Lewis' speech from the March on Washington usually gets overshadowed by King's speech, so I am particularly glad that this volume includes full pages of Lewis delivering the speech as part of the story, as well as including the speech in its entirety at the back. There are so many things in Lewis' speech that are, unfortunately, still relevant today, decades after he called for the changes that were needed in the 1960s. Read Full Review
