This is the book I needed to read right now. "March" is inspiring and motivating, and now I need to get my hands on Books #2 and #3.

Shortly after we moved to Atlanta at the end of 2015, we visited the Center for Civil and Human Rights. Part of one of the exhibits is an interactive area that focuses on non-violent protest.

Beautifully drawn, and a poignant memoir of Congressman John Lewis. If you have any knowledge of black history, there will be no surprises here. However, there is beauty, and a terrible parallel with racial violence today. I will be buying part two on Monday!

A great, readable, engaging glimpse into the early life of Representative John Lewis and how he rose to become instrumental in the Civil Rights movement. I never knew a lot about Rep. Lewis before, and I'm sorry I missed out. His story is powerful. I can't wait for the other two volumes to come in at the library already. Then it's time to read his full book about it, Walking with the Wind. The art is good. The story is powerful, as I said. The history is important. Read this book.
