emotional informative inspiring fast-paced

5.0

March is an excellent graphic novel introduction to John Lewis and his work as a young activist in the civil rights movement.  This first volume covers many familiar events, such as the Woolworth sit-ins, the founding of the SNCC, and King's speech during the March on Washington.
 While I have a broad understanding of the movement's history, I learnd a lot about Lewis' role and am looking forward to reading the rest of the series. Nate Powell's illustrations bring Lewis' story to life - I like the choice of black and white, which gives the imagery a feel of having been sketched by a witness to the events. Highly recommend.
