The book Turning 15 on the road to freedom is a book about the Selma voting rights march. It was a sad story to hear. The author of this book is writing about her experience when she was in the road to freedom march. What turning 15 on the road to freedom means she turned 15 when she was marching. she went to jail 9 times before she was 15. It was a very sad and disturbing book to read. these types of books get me to ask a lot of questions like why were blacks treated like this, or who would hurt children like seriously she got hit so many times by the police that she was bleeding from all areas of her head and above her eye. It got me angry but happy that they continued to fight. I am happy that now blacks can fight but there are other things we still need to fix. blacks are not treated well and i hate that. They tried to change the world before and now we are going to try and try again. I will give this book a 10 out of 10. I loved it.
