This is an insightful, well-written chronology of the Civil Rights Movement. Looking at issues that sparked the movement, such as the blatant murder of Emmett Till, the injustice of not being allowed to sit at the lunch counter in a store that depends of the sales to black population to keep the business open, the freedom riders, some of who gave their lives, the walk from Selma Alabama to the Capitol to fight for the right to vote, and the March on Washington where Martin Luther King Jr. gave his powerful speech that sparked a nation.

Recommended.
