Series review: A Graphic History of the Civil Rights Movement
Each book in this series focuses on the contribution that a person or group made to the civil rights movement. The graphic section explains their story in a way that lets the reader know the thoughts of the people at the time and the hardships that they endured. Most of the stories also explain how the participants changed over time. Every book has pages that give background and include primary source pictures. RECOMMENDED.
