About this ebook

By Fall 1963, the Civil Rights Movement is an undeniable keystone of the national conversation, and as chair of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, John Lewis is right in the thick of it. With the stakes continuing to rise, white supremacists intensify their opposition through government obstruction and civilian terrorist attacks, a supportive president is assassinated, and African-Americans across the South are still blatantly prohibited from voting. To carry out their nonviolent revolution, Lewis and an army of young activists launch a series of innovative projects, including the Freedom Vote, Mississippi Freedom Summer, and a pitched battle for the soul of the Democratic Party waged live on national television. But strategic disputes are deepening within the movement, even as 25-year-old John Lewis heads to Alabama to risk everything in a historic showdown that will shock the world.

Ratings and reviews

I really enjoyed this comic! I felt that it portrayed the Civil Rights movement from the perspective of a person one does not often see, as many pieces on the time are on Dr. King or Malcolm X or Rosa Parks, so something so intimate and from a different perspective is refreshing.

Representative John Lewis' story is incredibly moving. MARCH is a tremendous achievement in telling nonfiction in comics form, and the actual story is touching and inspiring.

I lived through those years! My grandchildren needed to know why it was so important to vote
