(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).

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.
