Description
Top Shelf Productions is proud to present March, a trilogy of graphic novels co-authored by Congressman John Lewis (GA-5) and Andrew Aydin, with art by Nate Powell (Swallow Me Whole, Any Empire, The Silence of Our Friends, The Year of the Beasts).
March is a vivid first-hand account of John Lewis’ lifelong struggle for civil and human rights (including his key roles in the historic 1963 March on Washington and the 1965 Selma-Montgomery March), meditating in the modern age on the distance traveled since the days of Jim Crow and segregation. In March, a true American icon joins with one of America’s most acclaimed graphic novelists. Together, they bring to life one of our nation’s most historic moments, a period both shameful and inspiring, and a movement whose echoes will be heard for generations.

5By oldefunk57As a proud black man, I really enjoyed reading this awesome book. Thank you John Lewis for sharing your extraordinary life. I'm in my late 50's. I don't remember reading much about my proud black history. It's a shame that I didn't have books like this when I was going to school. I was only privy to books about everything else, sad to admit. Our kids need to learn and know about our history as a people. All it seems is not fair. Sigh.....Just read it in 30 minutes
3By Haarmoni2012I chose this as one of my summer reads...the contents were good,like a history refresher,or like cramming before an exam...It's a page turner,so when I got to the last page,and I didn't know it was the last page,I was disappointed...I wanted more...but overall,it was good.
