Run: Book One by John Lewis, Andrew Aydin

4.0

Sequel series to March, which I absolutely loved. This book, similar to March does a great job in giving a slice of the actions and realities of some of the key civil rights players during the 1960s. It highlights that there was so much more going on during the Civil Rights Movement with the different factions, ideologies, etc. than the history books explain or even acknowledge. TBH my only qualm with the book is that it wasn't longer? It felt like so many key events and players were crammed into the book that I had to read the bios and information in the appendices to get it all to stick in my head. With that though, I think it's a great jumping off, introduction book that invites you to dive into each individual's story a little further and see their shifting ideologies as the civil rights movement continues and evolves.
