If you are one of those people who says "Oh, I don't really like graphic novels," make an exception.
I enjoyed Book Two just as much as Book One. Powerful storytelling and illustrations. I'll be getting Book Three soon!

Can't wait for the third and final installment. These should be required reading to better understand our past so that we can learn and better ourselves for the future.

I woke up to the news that John Lewis passed away. I was stunned, sad, and a little sorry that I hadn’t yet read books two or three of his memoirs (told in graphic novel form). I decided it would be a fitting tribute to read this book today.
These books are not the whitewashed version of the civil rights movement I got in school. There is something about the illustrations of firebombed buses and police brutality that makes these real events even more real to us in later generations; history truly comes alive. It’s all so uncomfortable to read about, to see — but I think it’s important, and I am glad my older two boys read this (and that I did, too). I would encourage parents to read these books along with their teens.
The closing scenes of the March on Washington were phenomenal.

Recommended by Nate, who says this graphic novel series about the Civil Rights Movement just keeps getting better.

An excellent continuation of the story from [b:March: Book One|17346698|March Book One (March, #1)|John Robert Lewis|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1360539808s/17346698.jpg|24086771]. It just is almost unbelievable that such things happened. Its very good to know our history, and the sacrifices and extreme efforts people went through to make this a more open, tolerant nation.
