This is such a powerful and quick read. I like the graphic novel format and love that the end of the book has Lewis' ORIGINAL speech. Provocative and powerful.

Great background for the march on Washington and the later Selma March. Also explained the beginnings of the fracturing of the civil rights movement that took place later in the 60s.

challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

This was similar to the first where there were aspects I liked and aspects I didn’t. Overall I think that it’s an important story told in a unique way, but the writing felt distant a lot of the time and that just isn’t my personal reading style. It was a very good overview of the Civil Rights Movement form where John Lewis was, but the graphic novel format just made it feel like you were sort of watching the distant historical ever thing unfold. I prefer to be in the head of a character and see things how they see them so the format felt sort of weirdly distant to me.
As much as I thought the graphic novel format didn’t work for me, I think that the reference to the Martian Luther King Jr. comics of the 60’s was very clever and it took a risk that I can admire, even if it wasn’t for me.

As I read this series, I’m frustrated at all the history I never learned, especially going to high school very close to Nashville where so many important events occurred.
