March Book One

March Book One by John Lewis, Andrew Aydin & Nate Powell     

121 pages

This is a graphic novel biography of Congressman John Lewis, who was one of the “Big Six” leaders of the civil rights movement.  This book tells both about his years as a young boy growing up on a farm in Alabama and talks about his civil rights years.  As a college student in Nashville he organized non-violent sit-ins at the lunch counters in department stores.  The book is written as though he is speaking today to two young boys in his office about his younger days.  It’s very well done and I could see a lot of teens that may not usually like to read about history having an interest in this book because of the format.
