Bookroo's summary
Lillian, a 100-year-old African American woman, embarks on a symbolic journey to her polling place, reflecting on her family's fight for voting rights. From her great-grandfather's first vote to her own march from Selma to Montgomery, each step is a testament to resilience and determination. As she climbs the hill, Lillian's memories weave a powerful narrative of struggle and triumph, urging us to honor past victories and continue the fight for equality. Will her journey inspire a new generation to uphold these hard-won rights?
From the publisher
A 50th anniversary tribute to the Voting Rights Act of 1965 finds an elderly woman reflecting on her family’s history, from the passage of the 15th Amendment through her participation in the protest march from Selma to Montgomery.
