Book two really took off for me - it felt much more substantial than the first volume. It tells an important story in an immediate way, making the content seem fresh and bringing to mind parallels of police violence in 2015 in the events described that happened 50+ years ago. 50 years past is not that long ago - this graphic novel brings the freedom rides to life, condensing much into its story. It made me want to learn more about Bayard Rustin and A. Phillip Randolph - men of towering achievement.
Excellent follow up to Book 1! I love how I'm learning new things. Illustrations are superb.
And I'm realizing the Freedom Riders are a gap in my education - I knew of them, but not many details.

It's hard for me to write a real review for this since the March Volumes really read as one story that's just broken up into three actual books, but I will say I'm definitely still enjoying this. Congressman John Lewis is such an inspiration and such a cool guy. How amazing to read this and still see him standing up for what he believes in today!

Covering the Freedom Rides and the March on Washington, continues to be required reading.
John Lewis continues his story in book 2 of the March trilogy. This one focuses on the Freedom Rides. The graphic novel format offers a unique perspective on the events of the past. It's not just words but pictures that bring the words to life.
