Description
The story of John Lewis' life is one of remarkable struggle and perseverance. From his childhood in rural Alabama to his work as a congressman and civil rights activist, Lewis has been driven by a commitment to justice and nonviolence. This graphic novel trilogy, written by Lewis and Andrew Aydin, brings his remarkable story to life through vivid first-hand accounts and reflections on the broader civil rights movement. Book One of the trilogy spans Lewis' youth in Alabama, his meeting with Martin Luther King Jr., and the early days of the Nashville Student Movement. The book is rooted in Lewis' personal experiences, including his involvement in nonviolent lunch counter sit-ins and his clashes with state troopers. Through these events, Lewis reflects on the distance traveled since the days of segregation and Jim Crow. A powerful and thought-provoking work, March: Book One offers a unique perspective on one of America's most significant social movements.
