In this beautiful story, Lillian, a one hundred-year-old African American woman, walks up a hill to vote for the first time. As she does, she also walks through history and her memories, remembering her ancestors who came before her who fought for her to have this right. She remembers her ancestors who were enslaved, as well as her parents who tried to vote, and her own participation in the Selma March. A moving story of one woman’s amazing life.
