March: Book Three by John Lewis

March: Book Three by John Lewis

Congressman John Lewis, an American icon and a vital figure in the civil rights struggle, joins co-writer Andrew Aydin and artist Nate Powell in bringing the lessons of history to vivid life for a new generation, crucially relevant for today's world.

By the fall of 1963, the Civil Rights Movement had deeply pierced the American consciousness, and John Lewis, as chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, was leading the charge. By relentless direct action, SNC continues to compel the nation to confront its own apparent injustice, but the threat grows more serious with each stride forward: Jim Crow strikes back.

Lewis and an army of young activists start a series of inventive activities to carry out their nonviolent revolution, including the Freedom Vote, Mississippi Freedom Summer, and a live-on-national-television battle for the Democratic Party's soul.

With these new conflicts come new allies, new foes, and an unpredictable new president who could be both at once. But even as 25-year-old John Lewis prepares to risk everything in a historic clash high above the Alabama river in a town called Selma, the movement's splits are spreading.
