I had the privilege to hear John Lewis speak once, and his voice jumps off the page in this first volume of his graphic memoir. It covers a wide swath of time, from his youth through the sit-ins of the early civil rights movement. I think the only thing that takes away from the story is the black and white color palette—I think if it were in color, it would emphasize that this didn’t happen very long ago.
