The March books are so very important, now more than ever. We must not forget the struggle to make our country a more perfect union. We must not take for granted the sacrifices so many have made to give us the rights we so often take for granted.

The final installment of John Lewis' autobiography recounts his experiences leading up to Bloody Sunday, Turnaround Tuesday, and finally the March from Selma to Montgomery.

The third book in the March series completes the trilogy of John Lewis' story of his perspective of the Civil Rights movement. While Dr. King and Malcolm X were the personalities that history likes to harken back to, there were many other participants that also contributed greatly to the cause. This trilogy offers an open door to learning more about this period in American history, particularly the non-violent marches and the violent retaliation to this movement.

The third and final installment of March was as good as the other two and all work together to capture some vivid images of a turbulent time.
Book Three shines a light on some of the hardships within the Civil Rights Movement, particularly between smaller groups that were not participating in the march from Selma to Montgomery.
Book Three may be a little less fascinating than the first two, but it is no less important. It’s great that John Lewis worked with these storytellers and artists to give the world some of the story in a very cool medium.

Reading this series for a class has been eye-opening. The facts of the Civil Rights Movement are often taught with a pair of rose-tinted glasses to students with glossy-eyed stares, taking in the bare minimum of the information to pass a test. Reading this in such an easy to digest format made reading it some of the most accessible creative nonfiction I have ever read. As someone who often has education in mind, even despite my path to teacher-hood is no longer my chosen one, I can't help but value this set small series for it's contribution.

This comic is the third and final installment of John Lewis' graphic novel memoir regarding the Civil Rights Movement. This graphic novel picks up right where number 2 leaves off. The opening panels of the comic discussed the bombing of a church in Alabama. The comic then goes into a deep conversation about African Americans right to vote and the fallout from trying to register to do so. The comic then pivot to the topic of the march on Selma to Montgomery. The primary focus of this comic in general is the fight for African Americans' voting rights Overall, I found this graphic novel series to be educational.

I recommend reading all three of the books because it is a continuous story. The story really shows how amazing a man John Lewis was. Also how persistent and determined that the Black community were to get the representation/changes they want. These are important to read. They're very fitting for today.

Volume 3 continues Lewis' story, this time starting with the Birmingham church bombing in 1963, then, focusing on the marches of the early 1960s, and wrapping up with the signing of the Voting Rights Act in 1965. Lewis was in the thick of *a lot*, so in addition to his personal experiences in the marches, you get his wider perspective on factions within the movement, politics, and what was going on nationally and internationally.
