Summary: Follow John Lewis from his humble beginnings on an Alabama farm to the forefront of the civil rights movement. In 'March,' Lewis recounts his pivotal meeting with Martin Luther King Jr., the rise of the Nashville Student Movement, and the fight against segregation through nonviolent protests. This graphic novel captures the highs and lows of a struggle that reshaped America, culminating in a powerful stand at City Hall. Will the echoes of this movement inspire new generations to continue the fight for justice?
