We March (2012) - Plot & Excerpts

We March by Shane W. Evans is a story about an even that took place on August 28, 1963. More than 250,000 people gathered at the capital to participate in the March on Washington for freedom and jobs. This story is a very simplified story of this event but tells it well from a child's perspective. It does a great job in opening a possible lesson to students about this historical event. It is a great depiction of how all races can come together and work towards a common goal. You could use this book in a classroom with children ages 4 through 8. A great book portraying the civil rights struggles and the impact of Martin Luther King Jr. had on civil rights. This book had great illustrations and a great story singling in on a family dealing with racism and segregation and how they overcame it and protested it with marching. Young students would enjoy the book but would most likely need some explanation as to what it truly means, depending on their age. Overall a great book that can be used to educate students on civil rights issues.

Not quite as visually powerful as Underground, but still very very well done.

A fitting follow-up to last year's Underground.

A simple, subtle delivery of a powerful story.
