This is just really important especially with what’s going on in today’s society. I honestly learned a lot because they honestly just gloss over everything in history which is just so annoying. I like the art style, but I just wish it wasn’t in black and white.

This entire series should be required reading for all Americans, now more than ever.
March: Book Two is powerful and the entire series should be read by everyone. The Civil Rights Movement often gets boiled down in school, but I learned so much about other important leaders and organizations during the 1960s, what went into the planning of the March on Washington, and how dangerous it was for people to protest - even peacefully - and especially in the south. John Lewis is incredible and, as he points out near the end of the book, is the only one left of the "Big Six." At only 23 years old, Lewis participated in sit-ins and peaceful protests, was a freedom rider, witnessed police brutality, endured jail time, met with President Kennedy to discuss the Civil Rights Bill, and spoke at the March on Washington before Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his "I Have a Dream" speech. We could all use a refresher on our recent past, and this book provides that information in a very accessible way. The comic book format makes it more dynamic and emotional than a history book. I read the first book on my Kindle Fire through the OverDrive app and I got the second book from my library, but I would really like to purchase copies of this series so I can own them at home. They are worth rereading.
5/5⭐️ these 3 books really should be part of every High School experience. The ability to learn, empathize, and feel the importance of the Civil Rights movement through this graphic memoir is unparalleled.
