Again, hard to review individually when I read all three together, but this one is probably my favorite. I can definitely see how it won a National Book Award. Of course this was the culmination of all three books and the march from Selma to Washington, but there were just some parts that hit extra hard emotionally and mentally that I loved.

Another informative, moving graphic memoir of John Lewis’s life. I especially appreciated how he and the other authors lifted up the stories of women in the movement in all three books because they are so often ignored. The imagery is not for the faint of heart, but it is really the next best thing for a generation who didn’t grow up watching the movement on television or participating in it directly.
