In the heart of the struggle for civil and human rights, "March" by John Lewis stands as a monumental narrative, chronicling the relentless fight against the chains of segregation and injustice. This graphic novel trilogy not only dives deep into the personal journey of John Lewis from a young boy on the farm in Alabama to the towering figure at the forefront of the Nashville Student Movement but also paints a vivid tableau of a nation in turmoil, striving for equality. Through the eyes of Lewis, we are offered an intimate glimpse into pivotal moments of the civil rights movement, from soul-stirring meetings with Martin Luther King Jr. to the courageous sit-ins that challenged the oppressive norms of the era. "March" is more than a memoir; it is a beacon of hope and a testament to the power of peaceful protest, echoing the enduring relevance of its message across generations. Crafted with the elegance of a master storyteller, John Lewis, along with co-writer Andrew Aydin and artist Nate Powell, brings to life the poignant narrative through striking visuals, making the history leap off the pages. As much as it is about the past, "March" resonates profoundly with the present, urging readers to reflect on how far society has come and how much further it needs to go. It encapsulates the essence of the civil rights movement, showcasing not just the monumental achievements but also the sacrifices and setbacks faced by those who dared to dream of a better, more equitable world. "March" is not just a book; it is a journey through the soul of America, a compelling reminder of the strength found in unity and the enduring struggle for justice and equality.

I loved going to the library. It was the first time I ever saw Black newspapers and magazines like JET, Ebony, the Baltimore Afro-American, or the Chicago Defender. And I’ll never forget my librarian.
