It chronicles Lewis' early life and pivotal role in the civil rights movement through vivid, accessible storytelling. Celebrated for its historical accuracy and cultural significance, this Coretta Scott King Honor Book ranks highly among nonfiction graphic novels and inspires new generations to understand and continue the fight for justice. ## Description Congressman John Lewis (GA-5) is an American icon, one of the key figures of the civil rights movement. His commitment to justice and nonviolence has taken him from an Alabama sharecropper's farm to the halls of Congress, from a segregated schoolroom to the 1963 March on Washington, and from receiving beatings from state troopers to receiving the Medal of Freedom from the first African-American president. Now, to share his remarkable story with new generations, Lewis presents March, a graphic novel trilogy, in collaboration with co-writer Andrew Aydin and New York Times best-selling artist Nate Powell (winner of the Eisner Award and LA Times Book Prize finalist for Swallow Me Whole). March is a vivid first-hand account of John Lewis' lifelong struggle for civil and human rights, meditating in the modern age on the distance traveled since the days of Jim Crow and segregation. Rooted in Lewis' personal story, it also reflects on the highs and lows of the broader civil rights movement. Book One spans John Lewis' youth in rural Alabama, his life-changing meeting with Martin Luther King, Jr., the birth of the Nashville Student Movement, and their battle to tear down segregation through nonviolent lunch counter sit-ins, building to a stunning climax on the steps of City Hall. Many years ago, John Lewis and other student activists drew inspiration from the 1958 comic book "Martin Luther King and the Montgomery Story." Now, his own comics bring those days to life for a new audience, testifying to a movement whose echoes will be heard for generations. Coretta Scott King Author Honor Books selection: recognizing an African American author and illustrator of outstanding books for children and young adults: "March: Book One," written by John Lewis and Andrew Aydin, illustrated by Nate Powell, and published by Top Shelf Productions. Review: Absolutely fantastic. - As a history teacher currently teaching the Civil Rights Movement, this book is absolutely invaluable both for my own understanding and the students. It is 100% accessible and presents the struggles of the non-violent movement in a brilliantly clear and real way. By following Johns individual story it makes the CRM so real for the students. It also works to show the hard work that went into the movement and how much is owed to those people. I would very much recommend. Review: Am buying books 2 and 3 of this series immediately! - I love that John Lewis was inspired by a comic book based on Martin Luther King's quest for civil rights, and have no doubt that March will go on to galvanize future leaders making gains in social justice as well. This book truly is on par with Maus and Persepolis for historical accuracy, unflinching realism, and cultural ethos. Both my 12-yr olds agree with me. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 65,972 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 60 in Nonfiction Comics & Graphic Novels for Young Adults 124 in Cultural History Biographies 218 in Cultural & Ethnic Studies | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 4,310 Reviews | ## Images ![March: Book One: 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71B8BY+UtxL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely fantastic. *by L***L on 16 April 2016* As a history teacher currently teaching the Civil Rights Movement, this book is absolutely invaluable both for my own understanding and the students.
