“A testament to the power we each have within us to stand up for what is right and to make the world a better and more just place.”—Dan Sturman, Academy Award–winning documentary filmmaker
“This inspiring personal story illuminates pivotal events in America’s history.”—Booklist, starred review
Jailed nine times before her fifteenth birthday, Lynda Blackmon Lowery refused to give up the fight for equal rights. She was the youngest marcher on the historic 1965 voting rights march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. She vowed to make a difference—and she did.
Lynda’s story of overcoming terror and winning one of our nation’s most important battles is eye-opening and inspiring—a memoir that brings us into the heart of the civil rights movement to offer compelling proof that young people can be heroes.
