Well-worth the read. It’s amazing to see how far we’ve come as a nation and also not. John Lewis’s role in voter advocacy and protection and civil rights activism cannot be understated.
Making these books required curriculum would be a benefit to students and schools.

Incredibly compelling presentation of a story that every American should know. The differences of opinion within the movement are the most interesting - with conservative activists regularly telling John Lewis and younger activists to slow down, and Lewis refusing.

Books 2 & 3 after March #1 did not have the same hopeful tone, perfect pace, or succinct editing. Many details included seemed purely sentimental and excessive, throwing off the flow of the narrative. Many secondary characters were mentioned never to be brought up again or to be brought up 100+ pages later. There are brief nods to women's and gay rights, but that isn't John Lewis' story to tell, so as a queer female I was exhausted by the focus on straight male activists. I understand that is the perspective presented here, but I struggled with hundreds and hundreds of pages of it. Also, so much drama and infighting. If you're interested in activism, it's a pretty accurate picture of what you're getting into. If you're a more casual reader of political perspectives, it will exhaust you.

RUN - don't walk - to get your hands on these books. Essential history that our country needs to remember even more so right now shared in a digestible way through comic-format.

Terrific conclusion to one of my favorite graphic novel series.
