The Story of the Civil Rights March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in PhotographsSeries: The Story of the Civil Rights Movement in PhotographsBy David Aretha DetailsDetails ReviewsReviews On August 28, 1963, more than 250,000 people descended on Washington, D.C. They came by bus, car, and bicycle. Some even walked hundreds of miles to be there. On that day, the massive crowd gathered to march, protest, sing, and support the Civil Rights Movement and to demonstrate that the time had come to end segregation in the South. To a captivated audience, Martin Luther King, Jr., spoke of his "dream," when African Americans would have equal rights. Through vivid primary source photographs, author David Aretha explores the "greatest demonstration for freedom" in American history.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: 2013004860Lexile: 890ATOS Reading Level: 6.1ATOS Points: 1.0Quiz #: 165297AR Interest Level: MGDewey: 975.3FormatsFormatISBNList PriceDiscount PriceLibrary Ed.978-0-7660-4238-4$25.27$18.95Multi-User eBook978-0-7660-5861-3$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.
