It is absolutely unconscionable that I took this long to complete the trilogy of this excellent work. Everything about it is amazing and it should be commended to anyone interested in the Civil Rights movement. Rep. Lewis has given his heart and soul to this project and the artwork delivers it with a stark vision that is ideal for the content. I highly recommend all 3 books but this one really drives home the realities of all that transpired in Lewis' life and the movement that continues to change a nation.

(Review of all 3 volumes) These aren't easy books to read, but they're important. Perhaps envisioned as a snapshot of where racism stood in the 40s-60s and how far we've come, right now the series reads like a blueprint for what US citizens of conscience will need to do as the government erodes civil rights for people of pretty much every identity and police and private violence continues to run rampant (and seems to increase every day).

dark informative inspiring reflective tense medium-paced

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.

Such and important read. I think people forget just how recent this was. I learned a lot like I didn’t fully know what Bloody Sunday was. Just all these people were/are so strong and amazing. This book made me so mad and sad, but also hopeful for the future.
