A review by bayareabruin11
March by John Lewis, Andrew Aydin

5.0

John Lewis is an American hero and as election day drawers nearer I cannot help but think of his many sacrifices to bring the right to vote to so many Americans. This incredible book should be required reading in history class when the Civil Rights Movement is taught. The book is heartbreaking (there was so much more violence than I knew), quirky (Lewis shyly dancing with Shirley MacLaine), and inspiring (a moment between President Obama and Lewis, "Because of you John", brought me to tears).

Please everyone go out and vote tomorrow to keep this country on its long march toward a more just and equal society, so wonderfully embodied by Rep. John Lewis.

"I say from time to time that the vote is precious. It's almost sacred. It is the most powerful nonviolent tool of instrument that we have in a democratic society. And we must use it" - Lewis
