I purchased a copy of this book when it first came out, yet it ended up sitting on my shelf for years. In a way I'm disappointed I didn't read it sooner, yet in another I'm glad I waited until now, because this volume is an inspirational read in these times. It helps to remember that hatred, injusti...
I read this for one of my summer classes. We had to read and annotate 10 comics/graphic novels. Here's the annotation I wrote for that class: Alternating between Barack Obama’s inauguration day and defining moments in John Lewis’s past, March: Book One tells the story of Lewis’s childhood and his ...
I have to say that this graphic novel was fantastic. I loved the writing and the art. I cannot wait to get book #2. "March: Book #1" follows Congressman John Lewis is John Lewis's first hand account of the American Civil Rights Movement. We follow Lewis's family and his first meeting with Dr. Martin...
Lately, I've been trying to educate myself in areas of life where my knowledge is sorely lacking. A part of that lacking is how the Civil Rights Movement came about. Then, recently, I learned about Congressman John Lewis and his role in the Civil Rights Movement. When I heard about this graphic nove...
While this series has been on my radar for a bit, two things made me finally pick it up. One was Trump's attack on John Lewis. And the second was that I got a gift certificate to B&N. Anyway, damn John Lewis this is great. Too often books do not deserve the awards they get, but this one does. The fr...
When I read Maus last year, I was surprised at how well a graphic novel is able to tell a story with such an impact. Reading March: Book One, I'm strengthened in my beliefs that it is a very good medium for these kind of stories. I happened to get this book as a surprise (for signing up to a newslet...
This tells about the childhood of John Lewis, how he grew up and what started him on his path. It goes on to show how when he was older, groups practiced non-violence in sit-ins and marches. They didn't argue. They trained so they wouldn't have reactions. I never knew how much actually was behin...
Although Dr. King played in inspirational role in young John Lewis' life, his story was more than being Dr. King's sidekick. I think Lewis' story is one of similar stories from the time and place - young people restless for change while also respecting their elders' feelings and opinions. Book one i...
This was just so well done. I think it's hard to truly explain to young people the importance of what ordinary people have done in the name of freedom and justice. If there were more books like this, that would become easier. This story is so simply told, yet so powerful in it's impact. I'm not sure...
