March: Book Two by John Lewis, Andrew Aydin

5.0

This is such a hard book to read, and yet so important. It boggles my mind how abusive and violent people were to the protestors just for being present and asking for change. The protestors, both black and white, accepted so much abuse and refused to respond in kind. I'm glad the book is in black and white, because I think adding color to the book would make it too heart-wrenching to read. The book hits some of the highlights of the Civil Rights movement - the Freedom Rides, the Children's March, the March on Washington, and it ends with the bombing of the church in Birmingham, which means we need to get the last book to see how it all ends. Highly recommended for all but the young and sensitive.
