Dear Mr. Lewis, 

As I continue on deeper into your book MARCH, I am more and more disappointed in people as a whole. A couple steps forward yet a million steps back. Your book reflected on the John F. Kennedy was assassination, the Democratic Convention, and the Civil Rights Act being written into law. Segregation was outlawed yet we were still on the outside. Segregation disguised itself in the form of Literacy Tests, the unfair assessment of black people with questions meant to trip up event the smartest of white men. We were given the right to use public facilities, but denied the right to vote. 

The determination and will power exhibited by Lewis and other protesters as they stood outside in the blazing sun for hours to protest these voting restrictions is admirable. They would not give up and although only a small amount of people were able to get through, it was still a victory. The little victories are what pushed them to keep going and fight for their rights. Mr. Lewis you continue to impress and shock me with your vivid recollections of these all too real events. 

The way to completely demolish racism is through education. Continue to inform the next generations of the horrors our ancestors had to endure, and make sure they do not happen again. I am eager to read more about the challenges you over came.

Best Wishes,

Maddy Suarez
