March: Book Two

Dive into the heart of the Civil Rights Movement with "March: Book Two," a compelling continuation of Congressman John Lewis's graphic novel memoir, published on January 20, 2015. This sequel captures pivotal moments of American history through the eyes of one of its most iconic activists, illustrated with dramatic monochrome artwork that intensifies the emotional gravity of each scene. After the Nashville sit-in campaign, a young John Lewis, alongside fellow Freedom Riders, faces escalating dangers—from police brutality to murder—as they journey deep into the hostile South. Their courage not only earns them the attention of figures like Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy but also cements Lewis’s role as a leader, eventually becoming one of the “Big Six” at the historic 1963 March on Washington. Ideal for middle-school students, this graphic novel makes the struggles and triumphs of the civil rights movement accessible and engaging, offering a powerful lesson on racial justice that resonates with urgency today.
