Run: Book One by John Lewis, Andrew Aydin

5.0

---

This graphic novel makes the complex power dynamics of the period more accessible. Including a lot of historical facts, which are also detailed in extensive notes at the end of the book, it helps illustrate the way that there were many competing forces within, outside of, and directly contrary to the civil rights movement. I was also intrigued by depiction of the interplay with politics around the Vietnam War.
