Turning 15 on the Road to Freedom: My Story of the 1965 Selma Voting Rights March
Description
At fifteen, Lynda Blackmon Lowery joined the 1965 Selma to Montgomery voting rights march—an act of courage that placed her at the heart of a turning point in American history. In this memoir, she recounts the journey from fear and determination to resolve, illuminating what it meant to demand equal access to the ballot in the face of danger and resistance. Through vivid personal detail, the book explores themes of youth and agency, collective action, and the moral urgency of civil rights. Written with the immediacy of lived experience and the clarity of a lifelong advocate, Lowery’s story offers both a moving portrait of the movement and a reminder of how freedom is won—step by step, together.
