We March
Recommended Ages: 6-10
Written and Illustrated by Shane W. Evans.
On August 28, 1963, over 250,000 people gathered in Washington, D.C., for the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Starting at the Washington Monument and culminating at the Lincoln Memorial, the march was highlighted by Martin Luther King Jr.'s iconic "I Have a Dream" speech, calling for racial unity. While many have written about this pivotal day, few have captured its essence as powerfully and gracefully as award-winning author and illustrator Shane W. Evans. Through his poignant storytelling and striking illustrations, he brings the historic march to life, making its significance accessible to even the youngest readers.
