Read the firsthand story of voting rights marcher Lynda Blackmon Lowery. Police put her in jail nine times before she turned 15. This book's combination of photographs and drawings help you imagine the story more vividly. You'll feel the determination, hope, terror and joy of the voting rights movement that was not so long ago.Accused: My Story of Injustice by Adama Bah

This story made me so mad sometimes because of the way Adama was treated and judged just for her religion!The Great American Dust Bowl by Don Brown
