Turning 15 on the Road to Freedom: My Story of the 1965 Selma Voting Rights March

Lynda Blackmon Lowery, as told to Elspeth Leacock, Susan Buckley

In this personal account, Lynda Blackmon Lowery recalls joining the 1965 voting-rights march from Selma, Alabama, to Montgomery when she was fifteen. She was the youngest participant in the march. Her memories place her own experience within Civil Rights history and give space to other activists who participated. Photographs and cartoon-like illustrations accompany her recollection of the historic journey and the people who marched for voting rights.
