March: Book Three by John Lewis

by Leave a Comment

March: Book Three is a slower read then John Lewis and Andrew Aydin’s other two graphic novels because the history told is extremely detailed. While it is all important, some things could have been edited down a smidgen. This history is not easy to deal with to begin with, therefore, the younger (even some teen readers) might get lost in what should have been probably a novel and not a graphic novel. But it is a great look at the other side of the text […]

Behind the scenes of History

March Book Two by John Lewis

by 2 Comments

In many ways the March Book One is the stronger of the two books, but book two of the March series has more details, more historical events people might have heard of and these events seem to take less time between them. Perhaps this is just due to Lewis moving more quickly through his writing of the story. But there is much going on and you need to pay attention. History unfolds in front of your eyes in ways that seem unimaginable but also, being […]

March: Book One by John Lewis

#cbr11bingo #History   March: Book One by John Lewis is one of those books I wish I did not have to rate. Mostly because, while I enjoyed the experience of reading it, I am actually not a fan. Let me explain. I appreciate everything about it: the build up to the historical March on Washington. The showing of the Civil Rights movement by the youth of this country has a slightly different spin then what your textbooks probably taught you. The seeing history unfold does […]

March Book One by John Lewis and Andrew Aydin

Thank you, CoffeeShopReader! I’ve been meaning to read March ever since I saw John Lewis speak at LA Review of Books in the spring. And I will be able to get all the NightVale references once I read that one. I love tea too and excited to try them all. 🙂

Necessary Trouble

March: Books Two and Three by John Lewis, Andrew Aydin (co-writer), and Nate Powell (artist)

I try to give myself a healthy reading diet, and part of that diet is books from the point of view of people who do not experience the world the same way my privilege as a cis white woman allows. When I picked up March: Book One it felt in many ways a basic history, an introduction to world that I was already relatively familiar with, even though it was not my own. If Book One is a primer then Book Two is a call […]

March On

March: Book One by John Lewis, Andrew Aydin (co-writer), and Nate Powell (artist)

I have loved Representative Lewis since studying about the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and their role in the sit-ins, freedom rides, and the 1963 March on Washington. While the March on Washington is most often remembered today as the location of Martin Luther King Jr’s I Have a Dream speech, earlier that day in his role as National Chairman of SNCC John Lewis spoke, giving an inflammatory speech that nearly had other speakers pulling out of the March. When I heard last year that […]
