I love the March books and I absolutely believe that they should be required reading. There are aspects of the civil rights movement featured in these books that I was simply never taught in school. Particularly when it comes to the violence and vitriol leveled against Black people. I think it’s also a more thorough depiction of the nonviolence philosophy. Nonviolent, yes, legal, no. I think when some people talk about non-violence now, they imagine something different than what it is. They can’t translate it into modern day nonviolent protests. This book might help remedy that disconnect. My only gripe with the book is that it occasionally felt disjointed, like I wasn’t getting all the information. Sometimes I could fill in the blanks, but not always.

dark hopeful informative tense fast-paced

Similar to book 1, this covers a lot of ground in the civil rights movement, from the freedom rides to the March on Washington. It’s really interesting to read about such familiar events from one specific person’s point of view. I still wish the illustrations were in color to emphasize that this is recent history, but generally, it’s a very moving and inspiring graphic memoir. On to book 3!
