A must read. Even if you think you know John Lewis’ story and the Civil Rights movement, you will learn something from this book. The artwork and writing work together in tandem brilliantly.

The somewhat non-linear storytelling made it a little difficult for me to get in to, but it’s such an important topic, and such an interesting way of portraying this history.

It's hard to write a review for the individual books in this series when I read them back to back to back lol but I can say that I especially liked this one because it remained the most focused on John Lewis and his life which were my personal favorite parts. It helped to remember that this was his story in addition to this bigger narrative of America's story and the Civil Rights Movement.

I absolutely think this book is how kids should start to learn about the Civil Rights Movement. It's not only easy to digest in graphic novels form, but it talks about aspects of the movement that I absolutely never learned about in school. I think the way I learned about it is such a disservice not only to the movement but to people like John who fought so hard for so long and did so much.
