Jailed nine times before her fifteenth birthday, Lowery fought alongside Martin Luther King, Jr. for the rights of African-Americans. In this memoir, she shows today's young readers what it means to fight nonviolently (even when the police are using violence, as in the Bloody Sunday protest) and how it felt to be part of changing American history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Straightforward and inspiring, this beautifully illustrated memoir brings readers into the middle of the Civil Rights Movement, complementing Common Core classroom learning and bringing history alive for young readers.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Dial Books","offers":[{"title":"Turning 15 on the Road to Freedom: My Story of the 1965 Selma Voting Rights March | PJ Lowery, Lynda Blackmon; Leacock, Elspeth; Buckley, Susan; Loughran | Hardcover | 9780803741232 | Used: Very Good | Children's Books 1564003","offer_id":48163455598744,"sku":"1564003","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/715hF0D_DyL.jpg?v=1771883719","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/turning-15-on-the-road-to-freedom-my-story-of-the-1965-selma-voting-rights-march","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
