March: Book Three opened my eyes to a lot of my own country's history that I didn't have much knowledge on. It's the story of John Lewis, considered one of the "Big Six" when it comes to the leaders of the Civil Rights Movement during the 1960s. This particular volume focuses towards the end of the Civil Rights Movement, with everything from the SNCC forcing the nation to confront its injustice to the nonviolent revolutions and the march from Selma to Montgomery, AL.
Seeing all of this through the eyes of someone who had gone through this themselves brings the American History to life. I love seeing this through the eyes of someone who went through something that I only learned about in school. This makes it more real for me. If you want to learn more about the Civil Rights Movement, this book and its two predecessors would be the ones that I encourage you to pick up these graphic novels and read up on your history.

Extraordinary. My favorite of the three. I cried by the time I got to page 10, and several other times throughout the book. Deeply moving and a wonderful way to tell the story.

The art is simple and raw but the story is anything but. A powerful story told in such a wonderful way.
This series shows us that the March towards progress and equality did not end at Montgomery, or with the voting rights act, or in 2009. No, that march continues and if we are lucky we too can make a little progress in that march forward. It takes more then just a desire for change. It takes planning a preparation and I am glad this series showed that as well.
Bloody Sunday was only 52 years ago. That is a drop in the bucket and some days it seems like things may even be worse. But as long as good men stand up for equality the march towards progress will continue.

Just. Read this series. The actions taken were important then, they are important now. I was shocked by the parallels and differences in the politics and the fight for human justice. John Lewis’ life was inspiring and we need to make good on the fight he risked his life for.
