About this product

Product Information

Welcome to the stunning conclusion of the award-winning and best-selling MARCH trilogy. Congressman John Lewis, an American icon and one of the key figures of the civil rights movement, joins co-writer Andrew Aydin and artist Nate Powell to bring the lessons of history to vivid life for a new generation, urgently relevant for today's world. By the fall of 1963, the Civil Rights Movement has penetrated deep into the American consciousness, and as chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, John Lewis is guiding the tip of the spear. Through relentless direct action, SNCC continues to force the nation to confront its own blatant injustice, but for every step forward, the danger grows more intense- Jim Crow strikes back through legal tricks, intimidation, violence, and death. The only hope for lasting change is to give voice to the millions of Americans silenced by voter suppression- "One Man, One Vote." To carry out their nonviolent revolution, Lewis and an army of young activists launch a series of innovative campaigns, including the Freedom Vote, Mississippi Freedom Summer, and an all-out battle for the soul of the Democratic Party waged live on national television. With these new struggles come new allies, new opponents, and an unpredictable new president who might be both at once. But fractures within the movement are deepening ... even as 25-year-old John Lewis prepares to risk everything in a historic showdown high above the Alabama river, in a town called Selma.

BOOKLIST (STARRED) --A stirring call to action that's particularly timelyin this election year, and one that will resonate and empower young readers inparticular. Essential reading., March is one of the most important graphicnovels ever created - an extraordinary presentation of an extraordinary life,and proof that young people can change the world. I'm stunned by the power ofthese comics, and grateful that Congressman Lewis's story will enlighten andinspire future generations of readers and leaders. - RainaTelgemeier, KIRKUS (STARRED) -- A living icon of the civilrights movement brings his frank and stirring account of the movement's mosttumultuous years (so far) to a climax. As chairman of the Student Non-ViolentCoordinating Committee between 1963 and 1966, Lewis was directly involved inboth public demonstrations and behind-the-scenes meetings with governmentofficials and African-American leaders. He recalls both with unflinching honestyin this trilogy closer carrying his account from the bombing of the 16th StreetBaptist Church to his eventual break with SNCC's increasingly radical elements.Alternating stomach-turning incidents of violence (mostly policeviolence)-including his own vicious clubbing on the Selma to Montgomery march's"Bloody Sunday"-with passages of impassioned rhetoric from many voices, hechronicles the growing fissures within the movement. Still, despite thewrenching realization that "we were in the middle of a war ," hesteadfastly holds to nonviolent principles. The passage of the 1965 VotingRights Act marks the end of his account, though he closes with a final lookahead to the night of Barack Obama's 2009 inauguration. Powell's high-contrastblack-and-white images underscore the narrative's emotional intensity with aparade of hate-filled white faces and fearful but resolute black ones, facingoff across a division that may not be as wide as it was then but is still asdeep. This memoir's unique eyewitness view of epochalevents makes it essential reading for an understanding of those times-and these. (Graphic memoir. 11 & up) SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL (STARRED) - Gr 8Up -In the final installment in the trilogy, Congressman Lewis concludes hisfirsthand account of the civil rights era. Simultaneously epic and intimate,this dynamic work spotlights pivotal moments (the bombing of the 16th StreetBaptist Church in Birmingham, AL; the Freedom Summer murders; the 1964Democratic National Convention; and the Selma to Montgomery marches) through thelens of one who was there from the beginning. Lewis's willingness to speak fromthe heart about moments of doubt and anguish imbues the book with emotionaldepth. Complex material is tackled but never oversimplified-many pages arepositively crammed with text-and, as in previous volumes, discussion of tensionsamong the various factions of the movement adds nuance and should sparkconversation among readers. Through images of steely-eyed police, motion lines,and the use of stark black backgrounds for particularly painful moments, Powellunderscores Lewis's statement that he and his cohorts "were in the middle of awar." These vivid black-and-white visuals soar, conveying expressions of hope,scorn, and devastation and making storied figures such as Martin Luther KingJr., Malcolm X, and Fannie Lou Hamer feel three-dimensional and familiar.VERDICTThis essential addition to graphic novel shelves, history curricula, and memoircollections will resonate with teens and adults alike.-Mahnaz Dar, SchoolLibrary Journal
