A review by jseargeant
March by John Lewis, Andrew Aydin
Originally published at Novel Escapism
Congressman John Lewis has taken his heroic story from the civil rights movement and turned it into a compelling graphic novel. Much more than a memoir, March represents important American history told in a modern format that will bring to life this story for new generations. Nate Powell’s stark black and white art gives even more weight to Mr. Lewis’ tales of the struggles for racial equality and the power of nonviolent protest. March is unafraid and unapologetic in its depiction of both the highs and lows of the civil right movement and it should be required reading for everyone.
