The Story of the Birmingham Civil Rights Movement in PhotographsSeries: The Story of the Civil Rights Movement in PhotographsBy David Aretha DetailsDetails ReviewsReviews Martin Luther King, Jr., called Birmingham, Alabama, the most segregated city in America. In 1963, he and other civil rights leaders believed it was time to change that. With marches and protests throughout the city, civil rights activists hoped the movement would draw national attention. Hundreds of young African Americans joined the cause, marching for equal rights. Angry segregationists reacted—violently. And it would play out in newspapers and on television screens across the country. Through dramatic primary source photographs, author David Aretha explores this crucial struggle of the Civil Rights Movement.Publication Date: 01/01/2014Copyright: 2014Pages: 48Trim Size: 7 1/2 x 9Illustrations: Illus. with color and black-and-white photographsGrade Level: 5–upAge Level: 10–upLC Number: 2012050435Lexile: 910ATOS Reading Level: 6.2ATOS Points: 1.0Quiz #: 165295AR Interest Level: MGDewey: 323.1196FormatsFormatISBNList PriceDiscount PriceLibrary Ed.978-0-7660-4237-7$25.27$18.95Multi-User eBook978-0-7660-5860-6$25.27$18.95 "These informative books are moving photographic displays of the peaks of the civil rights movement."The Horn Book Guide, Fall 2014"The books dramatically carry the reader from early 1963 Birmingham to sit-ins, marches, and protests.
