And We Rise: The Civil Rights Movement in Poems

A powerful, impactful, eye-opening journey that explores through the Civil Rights Movement in 1950s-1960s America in spare and evocative verse, with historical photos interspersed throughout. Erica Martin's debut poetry collection walks readers through the Civil Rights Movement - from the well-documented events that shaped the nation's treatment of Black people, beginning with the 'Separate but Equal' ruling - and introduces lesser-known figures and moments that were just as crucial to the Movement and our nation's centuries-long fight for justice and equality.
