Picking up where Book 1 left off, the authors continue to relay the fight of African Americans, no matter how hard the story gets. Working up to the March on Washington, the student organization continues their peaceful protests, taking a stand for their rights. This story is a constant reminder of where our country was, and how much farther we still have to go.
Just as rich in detail as the first book, this graphic novel gives a heartbreaking reality on every page. Personally, this story reminds me of the hatred faced by so many in our country, both in the past and now, but we can change the future, one act of kindness at a time.

Incredible stuff. Doesn't mesh the two timelines as well as the first volume, but the history it's conveying is indispensable and always manages to tell it in a way that feels harrowing even this many decades later.

After the success of the 1960 Nashville sit-in campaign, John Lewis is more committed than ever to changing the world through nonviolence - but as he and his fellow Freedom Riders board a bus into the vicious heart of the deep south, they will be tested like never before.
Faced with beatings, police brutality, imprisonment, arson, and even murder, the young activists of the movement struggle with internal conflicts as well. But their courage will attract the notice of powerful allies, from Martin Luther King, Jr. to Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy... and once Lewis is elected chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, this 23-year-old will be thrust into the national spotlight, becoming one of the "Big Six" leaders of the civil rights movement and a central figure in the landmark 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.

Another powerful and moving entry about John Lewis and his part in the Civil Rights movement during the 1960s. I am eagerly awaiting book 3.
