“We March” by Shane W. Evans
Sixty three years ago on August 28, 1963, there was a March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. The march started at the Washington Monument and ended at the Lincoln Memorial where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous speech, “I Have a Dream.” This book brings together the thrill of the day in simple statements and beautiful illustrations. After the book will be a related craft.
