Great

The reading of this accurate historical documentation should be MANDATORY in the schools. Why, its not, I haven't a clue. However, as someone that was there during this tumultuous time in our nations history...you need to read. It will dispel some long held myths, and open your eyes to some truths you'd never know other wise. A MUST READ!

I purchased this boom for my 12 year old son. The stories inside this book flamed a interest in civil rights and history.

I ordered this book brand new and it was perfect condition when I got it. Plus it did not take long to get to my house! I would order again. I had to buy this book for school and I was very happy to have it come earlier than expected.

it turns out there is a lot more than martin luther king and the NAACP. this book will tell who were the backbone of the civil rights movement

This a great book. My daughter brought it for her A Level History project. A lovely book. A lovely interesting read. She highly recommends this book.

Very pleased
