Reflections of the 1965 Freedom March from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama : a memoir of the United States civil rights movement / Susan Jans-Thomas ; with a foreword by Lemuel Berry.
Dr. Jans-Thomas revisits an important location in the Civil Rights movement and walks through various places along the march from Selma to Birmingham, Alabama. Her stories are largely anecdotal, but the overall portrait she paints of the towns are vivid because she outlines how the culture has changed since the 1950?s and 60?s. The portrayal of the towns is suitable, not only for introductory college students, but advanced high school students as well. The book reads like a historical narrative and a sociological field study, and its importance derives from the juxtaposition of past struggles.
