Lillian's Right to Vote: A Celebration of the Voting Rights Act of 1965

A moving tribute to a remarkable woman and generations who fought for equality and voting rights. It eloquently captures the troubled history of American events leading up to the Voting Rights Act of 1965, features key figures such as John Lewis, and ends with a powerful question for the next generation. Will you continue to fight to protect voting rights for every American?

This is an excellent read with a lot of good information. I read this with my son, and we talked about it. It was a good way to navigate some of the hard topics of the day.

This is an excellent book that takes the reader on a time travel through the voting amendments as they were written. I read this to my fifth graders to tie the amendment information together, and they were able to connect to both the words and illustrations.

Excellent book about voting. My 1st grader was captivated and the story sparked some great questions and discussion.

Brought my 10 year old Caucasian boy to tears. A must read.

Powerfully moving story that shares visually and in text, the long journey experienced by African Americans to obtain the right to vote. Author's notes add to the story telling about the woman who inspired it. I could easily picture her walking up the hills of Pittsburgh to encourage individuals to vote for the first black president. It is an excellent supporting picture book to use with Deborah Wiles' docu-novel 'Revolution.'

A great book about voting history, especially the African American path to voting.Disappointed that it arrived noticeably damaged.

A great book about the struggles folks of color have faced when exercising the right to vote. A must read for all children.
