Voices from the March on Washington, a 2017-2018 Choose to Read Ohio selection, will be available for unlimited downloads between January 1 and June 30th, 2017 in the Ohio Digital Library.

Voices from the March on Washington by J. Patrick Lewis and George Ella Lyon is a collection of 70 poems from a variety of first person perspectives written for a young adult audience. According to the review in Kirkus, “the poets rekindle the spirit of the fight for racial equality in the United States with imagined voices of young and old, black and white, educated and underprivileged, supporters and detractors and drive home the volume's theme of taking personal responsibility in helping this country 'steer toward justice together.' . . . A powerful yet accessible guide to 'one day in 1963 [that] [b]elongs to every age.'”
