Críticas

* "Richly illustrated, this deserves a place alongside other important depictions of this story." --Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review

* "Commemorating the upcoming 50th anniversary of the 1965 march for voting rights from Selma to Montgomery, Freedman delivers a thorough account of the context and events leading up to and through this momentous protest....The momentum-building narrative and often-graphic b&w photos captivate as they recount demonstrations big and small: from sit-ins and 'wade-ins' (for desegregated beaches) to the well-known Selma schoolteachers' march and 'Bloody Sunday' at the Edmund Pettus Bridge." --Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

* "The many well-chosen black and white photos record significant events, capture dramatic moments, and show individuals who took part in these historic events. With a timeless narrative and a timely epilogue, this handsome volume offers a vivid account of a pivotal moment in American history." --Booklist, Starred Review
