March by John Lewis, Andrew Aydin

Rest in Power. 2020 - my early review from colona
I first learned about John Lewis on TV and I was browsing goodreads and saw his familiar name and sure enough it was him. What an amazing historical figure, fought for civil rights, was arrested several times, and became a congressman along with other achievements. I really hope these books find there way into history classes. His memoir was interesting the ink illustrations of black and white I found like reading a memory, I was totally engrossed reading his history, and l felt Inspired that I can fight and make a difference. In times like these especially you have to be kind to those around you, lend a helping hand (which can start in your community), and recognize your privilege. I like to think I make a difference by ordering and making sure I read diverse fiction. It's a small step but I think making sure there is representation for many people is important. After reading all of them it can also be a little depressing reading how many people died and how harshly people were treated. Continue the fight today, it is important and if you see racial or any injustice call it out and demand change. I can not really put into words how grateful and the respect I have for John Lewis. I highly recommend this powerful memoir with charming and amazing ink illustrations.
