March: Book Three

All three books are AMAZING and a fitting tribute to Mr Lewis. If you don't already know who he was, read these. Listen to speeches from his years in the Congress. I've shared these with my oldest relatives who lived in SC, students from my years teaching, and young and old, all came away inspired and encouraged. If there's one voice we still need today, it's that of John Lewis.

I can’t say any different than for book two. This continues the amazing journey and the powerful willdullnezs for freedom. A great lesson to remember about a pivot time in American history. The bigotry, racism and hatred that was endured (and sadly returning since 2016 presidential election and current administration) is a despicable mark on this country. What these people endured to be treated with human respect and decency is inspiring. This is a book that series that should be read by every middle school student and discussed - and revisited often. The artwork is great because it indicates the dark times that was endured and felt. It’s a very easy reading style that lets the art tell the story with a well selected wording to bridge the details. Highly recommended.

What a great tribute to John Lewis and the Freedom Riders. What a great way to teach kids about his legacy of faith, character, bravery, and sacrifice for the country he loved. To teach love and non-violence. To show that loving your country sometimes means you gotta make some "good trouble." To teach that loving even those who hate you - who would kill you - can turn things around. This project was a bold and creative idea, to tell the story of bold people. Thank you.

I have read history books of america. But nothing as powerful as MARCH. The history of mr. John Lewis is a powerful message to all people of all nations that nonviolence can change the state, the country, the world. Just hope and keep faith. It will not be over night,but it will. So thanks to all of them that marched before us.even if I didn't know all those who did in glad I know a lot of them now through this awesomely fantastic book. I am proud to be a white american and feel love for these fantastic people who not only marched but wrote these three books. My thanks. Remember one person, one vote

Great book and series! Highly recommend!!

I've admired John Lewis for a long time, but didn't know a lot of the details of his life nor of the Civil Rights movement. While this is not a detailed and scholarly history (I would like one of those, too), it will give the reader a very clear idea of what the original protesters had to go through and just how the different groups worked with (or didn't work with) each other. I think I often blur the 60s into a few set images and wipe out full view. Rep. Lewis's graphic novels are an excellent corrective. This would be equally useful for people younger than I am who cannot even dimly remember that era.

Love!

March, Book Three picks up where Book Two left off in telling the story of the re-invigoration of the civil rights movement in the late 1950's and 1960's, as seen through the eyes and life experiences of John Lewis, the last living member of the Big Six civil rights leaders who initiated the 1963 March on Washington. Using the "graphic novel" form, Congressman Lewis, Andrew Aydin and Nate Powell have put the civil rights struggle in words and drawings favored by many young people born many years after the events depicted took place, making that struggle "real" to them. The three book series does a major service in educating young Americans of all races about a critical period in the civil rights movement. Richard Davies

Historisches graphic novel, sehr gut

I didn't write a review for the second book. I did for the first and I feel I need to say something for the last. It's hard to believe this happened but it did. It's hard to believe folks could hate someone for the colour of their skin that much but they did. It's hard to imagine enduring all that and not raising a fist, but they managed it. In doing so they managed so very much in the face of what seem like overwhelming odds. These are the sort of heroes we need in the world.

Un caso esemplare di graphic novel (anche se non è un romanzo ma una storia scritta con la collaborazione del protagonista) che illustra in modo appassionante ed adeguato dal punto di vista delle informazioni e degli insights la storia dell'emancipazione dei neri statunitensi nel secondo dopoguerra fino all'elezione di Barack Obama. E' una trilogia, essendo questo il terzo ed ultimo.

Part of a Christmas present he seemed to like it

The best of the series - it pulls no punches
