Description: We March by Shane W. Evans The acclaimed author and artist of Underground brings his talents to this account of the 1963 March on Washington. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description On August 28, 1963, a remarkable event took place--more than 250,000 people gathered in our nations capital to participate in the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. The march began at the Washington Monument and ended with a rally at the Lincoln Memorial, where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his historic "I Have a Dream" speech, advocating racial harmony. Many words have been written about that day, but few so delicate and powerful as those presented here by award-winning author and illustrator Shane W. Evans. When combined with his simple yet compelling illustrations, the thrill of the day is brought to life for even the youngest reader to experience. We March was one of Kirkus Reviews Best Childrens Books of 2012, and is an important story about the African American civil rights movement. Author Biography Shane W. Evans has illustrated numerous books for children, including Black Jack: The Ballad of Jack Johnson and Underground, recipient of four starred reviews, both for Roaring Brook Press. He lives with his family in Kansas City, Missouri. Review "[A] well-told and superbly rendered book." --School Library Journal, starred review "This makes a pivotal event in our nations history accessible to our youngest citizens without compromising any of its power." --Booklist "Theres an iconic flavor to the scenes, their streamlined compositions and simplified human figures standing in for the experience of many." --The Bulletin "Share with readers of all ages as a beautiful message about peaceful protest and purposeful action." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review "Many young children know there was a march on Washington a long time ago and that Martin Luther King Jr. gave a famous speech that day. Some know why the march took place; fewer still know how it happened. Using a minimalist text (no more than ten words per page) as he employed in Underground, Evans covers the last two points." --Horn Book Magazine "A moving introduction to a historic day." --Publishers Weekly Review Quote This makes a pivotal event in our nations history accessible to our youngest citizens without compromising any of its power.
