Marching for Freedom: Walk Together, Children, and Don't You Grow Weary Audiobook

" This accessible nonfiction story of the Freedom Marches beginning in 1963 was amazing with the stark black and white photographs of important figures in the marches, personal stories, and a basic timeline of events. The heavy-hitters like Dr. King and Rosa Parks, but also stories of little girls joining up, a one-legged man marching the entire distance, and a old woman who ran a general store to help feed and shelter marchers. Very easy and worth reading. "

" This is a very readable account of the civil rights movement, focusing on the contributions and involvement of children in activities focused on Selma Alabama in 1965. Not only is the text very engaging, following real children through different events, but the pictures of the events and the children are compelling and are reproduced in amazing quality. This book really brings the marches and protests to life, allowing children to glimpse what it was like to be engaged at that time. "

" Marching for Freedom is a powerful, enotional and factual look at how young people contributed to the Civil Rights movement in Bloody Sunday and the Selma to Montgomery March in the quest for voting rights. It is evocative of the times and very accessible, with bold black and white photographs that illustrate the well researched text. It does not back away from brutality, but illustrates the bravery and endurance of young people. The lyrics of the songs of the marchers are powerful. Already an award winner and certain to win more, this book is highly recommended for readers grades 5 and up. "

" Wonderful book for Black History month. The book is very moving, but I thought it was actually a little advanced for the group it is targeting. It is aimed at children, but some of the words would be difficult for school aged children to read. "

" This haunting account of the Selma Freedom Fighter's protests, which eventually led to the passing of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, is not to be missed. Partridge does a wonderful job of exploring what it was like to be one of the ordinary people that helped the movement forward. "
