The birth and rise of the United States showed great examples of justice and democracy and disgraceful times of oppression and discrimination.
We learnt together about the history of black people in the U.S., up to the day when 250,000 people marched to the capital to demand "Jobs and Freedom".
This book was created to explore that memorable day.
