This book is written for middle grade readers and presents an excellent overview of America's long history of segregation and discrimination that led to the campaign for voting rights for African Americans. America's history has not always been pretty or kind to minorities, and if this country is to ever live up to its stated constitution ideals, then we must start by telling the truth of our past to ourselves and our children.
Look what the Democrats did to these committed Americans! Over and over again, this book demonstrates the corruption at the heart of the democrat leadership.After the Civil Rights Act was passed by the Republicans in Congress, the Selma protests and marches forced LBJ's hand into signing the law. No longer could Democrat politicians deny black people equal protection under the law. It started then. It's still underway. Sooner or later, Democrats WILL stop holding black Americans in poverty.But as long as they can, they will keep trying to keep black Americans helpless, hopeless, and stupid. Look around.
Great condition.
great book
