A review by keegan_rellim_taylor
March: Book One by John Lewis, Andrew Aydin
5.0
I got this series for my older kids and my second kept asking me to read it too, and I finally did. It is so excellent!!
I love that it has the highlights and the lowlights (so to speak) of the Civil Rights Movement. It couldn't be a complete picture but it was definitely much fuller than anything I read as a kid on the subject.
I appreciated how many people from the movement I learned about, especially how many women. For instance I had heard the name Fannie Lou Hammer but I didn't really know what she had done. There were so many powerful women!
I loved the excerpts from some of the important speeches of the era. It was just such a powerful piece done excellently!
