March: Book Two
by John Lewis, Andrew Aydin
Just as good as the first one. He pulls no punches with these autobiographies. He details the horror of the Civil Rights movement in the South, how so many pushed back in an effort to stem the tide of desegregation, and the lengths the activists went to in order to achieve their goals. This volume details the March on Washington and the lead-up to it, as well as the journey of the Freedom Riders as they tried to desegregate the buses in the deep South. I really feel like these novels should be required reading here in the States. It's time to take off the rose-colored glasses and take a good, hard look at what life was truly like not that long ago, and how far we still need to go in order for everyone to truly have their freedom.
