Congressman John Lewis may just seem like another politician now, but his life as a young activist in the Civil Rights Movement is an incredibly moving story, one that highlights the heroism of many organizers who risked their lives in the South in the 1950s and 1960s, battling some of the ugliest edges of American white supremacy. In the early 2010’s, Andrew Aydin and award-winning illustrator Nate Powell teamed up with Lewis to produce this masterful work, “MARCH”, a trilogy of graphic novels encompassing the highlights of this chapter of Lewis’ life. Winner of the National Book Award for Young People's Literature and now widely distributed to libraries and classrooms across the United States, “March” offers some important political nuance (as well as an intimate personal touch) to the often horribly white-washed story of the Civil Rights Movement in America. #SJComix365 #johnlewis #march #marchtrilogy #graphichistory #graphicnovel #graphicmemoir #comics #politicalcomics #civilrightscomics #civilrights #civilrightsmovement #natepowell #bhm2019 https://www.instagram.com/p/Btv26iagC9u/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1psvaqp2tnys9
