Description
The stunning conclusion to the award-winning MARCH trilogy brings the lessons of history to vivid life for a new generation. Congressman John Lewis and co-writer Andrew Aydin join artist Nate Powell to share the story of the civil rights movement, urgently relevant today. By the fall of 1963, the Civil Rights Movement has gained momentum, with John Lewis at its forefront as chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. The movement's nonviolent revolution faces intense danger, from legal tricks and intimidation to violence and death. To carry out their cause, Lewis and young activists launch innovative campaigns, including the Freedom Vote and Mississippi Freedom Summer. As the struggle for lasting change intensifies, fractures within the movement deepen, leading to a historic showdown in Selma. This gripping story is a testament to the power of courage and determination in the face of adversity.
