What is most important about the March series is that it goes into specifics not just the important events leading up to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, but the strategy and internal conflict within the various organizations that made up the civil rights movement. Here we have the backstory of how John Lewis joined the movement, and the early victories in desegregating lunch counters in Nashville, where Lewis went to divinity school. Training in principles of non-violence was essential to the success of the movement. This is a point that is increasingly important in today's civil rights activism - people need to be educated not just in the ideas behind the movement, but the strategy that can best effect structural change. The first of a three volume series, March: Book One sets the stage for those who wish to learn more about John Lewis, one of the powerhouses of the Civil Rights Movement and long-time U.S. Representative. Flashing back and forth between the present-day and the start of his political leanings, this book does a great job of introducing readers to the Civil Rights movement in a way that is both informative and empowering. The authors are adept at showcasing the systemic racism present in the country and how hard it was (and continues to be) to fight the good fight. The drawings are incredibly well-done, with lots of zooming into facial expression to really capture the feelings of that moment. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

This graphic novel trilogy is a first-hand account of Congressman John Lewis' lifelong struggle for civil and human rights, meditating in the modern age on the distance traveled since the days of Jim Crow and segregation. Rooted in Lewis' personal story, it also reflects on the highs and lows of the broader civil rights movement. Book one spans Lewis' youth in rural Alabama, his life-changing meeting with Martin Luther King, Jr., the birth of the Nashville Student Movement, and their battle to tear down segregation through nonviolent lunch counter sit-ins, building to a stunning climax on the steps of City Hall. Book two takes place after the Nashville sit-in campaign. His commitment to justice and nonviolence has taken him from an Alabama sharecropper's farm to the halls of Congress, from a segregated schoolroom to the 1963 March on Washington D.C., and from receiving beatings from state troopers, to receiving the Medal of Freedom awarded to him by Barack Obama, the first African-American president.
