The Story of the Selma Voting Rights Marches in PhotographsSeries: The Story of the Civil Rights Movement in PhotographsBy David Aretha DetailsDetails ReviewsReviews The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a momentous victory for civil rights activists. But one major obstacle remained in the path toward equal rights for African Americans: the right to vote. In the South, segregationists prevented African Americans from voting. Civil rights leaders believed it was time for strong action and chose Selma, Alabama, as the rallying point. There, the marches and protests captured the nation’s attention. Through gripping primary source photographs, author David Aretha explores this important time 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: 2013006113Lexile: 860ATOS Reading Level: 6.1ATOS Points: 1.0Quiz #: 165299AR Interest Level: MGDewey: 324.6FormatsFormatISBNList PriceDiscount PriceLibrary Ed.978-0-7660-4239-1$25.27$18.95Multi-User eBook978-0-7660-5862-0$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.
