Lillian's Right to Vote

As Lillian, a 100-year-old African-American woman, makes a "long haul up a steep hill" to her polling place, she sees more than trees and sky--she sees her family's history. She sees the passage of the Fifteenth Amendment and her great-grandparents voting for the first time. She sees her parents try to register to vote. And she sees herself marching in a protest from Selma to Montgomery. Veteran bestselling picture book author Winter and Coretta Scott King Illustrator Award-winning Evans vividly recall America's Civil Rights battle in this lyrical, poignant account of one woman's fierce determination to make it up the hill and make her voice heard.
