5.0

March is an excellent graphic novel introduction to John Lewis and his work as a young activist in the civil rights movement.  This first volume covers many familiar events, such as the Woolworth sit-ins, the founding of the SNCC, and King's speech during the March on Washington.
 While I have a broad understanding of the movement's history, I learnd a lot about Lewis' role and am looking forward to reading the rest of the series. Nate Powell's illustrations bring Lewis' story to life - I like the choice of black and white, which gives the imagery a feel of having been sketched by a witness to the events. Highly recommend.

A must read. Even if you think you know John Lewis’ story and the Civil Rights movement, you will learn something from this book. The artwork and writing work together in tandem brilliantly.
