March is a compelling first-hand narrative of John Lewis's enduring fight for civil and human rights, reflecting on the progress made since the era of segregation and Jim Crow laws. It is based on Lewis's life narrative and considers the highs and lows of the larger civil rights struggle.
Book One chronicles the early years of John Lewis in rural Alabama, his encounter with Martin Luther King Jr. that forever changed his life, the beginning of the Nashville Student Movement, and their fight to end segregation via peaceful sit-ins at lunch counters, which culminates in a breathtaking scene on the steps of City Hall.
The 1950s comic book Martin Luther King and the Montgomery Story served as a source of inspiration for student activists like John Lewis many years ago. His own comics now revive those times for a new audience, bearing witness to a movement whose effects will last for many decades.
