Highly recommend! An excellent addition to the March series. Perfect for those seeking to learn about an oft overlooked chapter in American Civil Rights history.

This reads a little like March vol 3. Too much of an info dump rather than a flowing story. That being said it it's a historical narrative. And the art was fantastic like the previous books.
A remarkable addition to the March series that provides a truthful and often painful look at this time in history - which is barely/rarely talked about in schools. Great accessible work for our teen readers.
A nonfiction graphic novel that follows John Lewis' part in the SNCC and work toward enforcing the Voting Rights Act.
I loved March, and this is a well done continuation of that series.

There's a lot going on here as John Lewis transitions his life story from March to Run. The Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act were finally passed at the end of March: Book Three but that doesn't mean that the struggle is over.
The book feels a little chaotic to me but it's about a chaotic time and alliances and boundaries are constantly shifting. The Civil Rights Movement has gotten some much-needed laws passed but getting them enforced is proving almost impossible. Some people have moved onto the next logical step--running for office. They encounter variations of the same racist obstacles and road blocks that they've been fighting for so long.
I keep writing more but this review keeps turning into a summary so I'm going to stop here. Many of us probably believe that once those two acts passed, everything was magically better. I recommend this book to show readers that in some ways, the real fight was just beginning.

A fast graphic novel to end 2021. Got this from work as a gift, it's a well done history, but made me want to dig into the source materials for more detail. I'll keep an eye out for the rest of the series.
I didn't find this quite as engaging as the March series, but I think that may be because this was more of an intro into an arc. It was still interesting to learn more on history, especially some of the afterwards on the real people who were featured.
Sequel series to March, which I absolutely loved. This book, similar to March does a great job in giving a slice of the actions and realities of some of the key civil rights players during the 1960s. It highlights that there was so much more going on during the Civil Rights Movement with the different factions, ideologies, etc. than the history books explain or even acknowledge. TBH my only qualm with the book is that it wasn't longer? It felt like so many key events and players were crammed into the book that I had to read the bios and information in the appendices to get it all to stick in my head. With that though, I think it's a great jumping off, introduction book that invites you to dive into each individual's story a little further and see their shifting ideologies as the civil rights movement continues and evolves.
We pick up the story of John Lewis’s life shortly after the signing of the Civil Rights Act to the time after he steps down as leader of SNCC.
