March Trilogy Slipcase Set John Lewis Andrew Aydin Nate Powell 9781603093958 Books Reviews

• This is a MUST have for anyone desiring to learn the truth regarding the Civil Rights Movement from and eye witness. Having been involved myself in a different southern state...the astonishing way Congressman Lewis brings everything up close and personal has left me speechless. We've come too far to let slip the very things we've fought so hard to achieve. This would also be a wonderful teaching tool for teachers. Teachers...be the hand extended to the next generation. I've found it personally challenging to trying to explain what it was like back then. It seems it's due to a lack of knowledge and no frame of reference to those that ask me so many questions. PLEASE, get this set.
• There are no words in any language invented by humans that can describe this amazing story of horror and triumph. Congressman Lewis is a modern day super hero. No one should be subjected to the disrespect and totally unchristian horrors that Congressman Lewis and his peers endured. I am saddened and depressed that so much of the evil that almost prevailed at that time is awakening yet again. These evil entities created World War II in the Pacific and in Europe. I am not as good a person as Congressman Lewis and I dearly wish this evil would permanently die now.
• This series is beautiful and moving, informative, uplifting, and vitally important. It was so when the series was conceived and begun, but moreso in the intervening years as little by little the progress outlined in these books, forged by the civil rights movement decades ago, is being whittled away.
  
  I hope to see a day when this is merely history and not a warning, a call to vigilance. These books should be required reading in public schools across the nation. Representative John Lewis is a living national treasure, the last living legend of the 20th century civil rights era. That makes him sound like Captain America, and in a way he is, except he's real.
  
  March covers John's early life and the beginnings of his involvement in peaceful protest. He embraced nonviolence fully then and continues to do so today. March rightfully and clearly outlines the events and the atmosphere that lead to the need for the March from Selma to Montgomery, and the marches that preceded it.
  
  The March continues today, as voting rights have been turned back, as hate and bigotry have once again moved to the forefront of our nation and government. Let this be our guide to resistance. The moral arc of the universe is long (the key word here), and it bounces as it tends toward justice. But it only moves there if we will it.
  
  A final note on the wonderfully expressive art. The storytelling is clear, and the style is very reminiscent of African-American styles that sprang from the era, but seems strongly influenced by manga art styles as well.
• This copy is for my grandson one day, I have mine on my kindle.. it is giving me knowledge I didn't know during the actual time I lived through, not aware of the horrible treatment of fellow citizens of this country. Today I am grateful I can share with my Grandson the foolishness of believing untruths just because they claim to be a "man of the cloth". Today it is a person in a cop's Uniform.
• I ordered this is a gift for my husband he loves it very much. This is a highly recommended gift. It is a great Trilogy wrapped in a very artistic case which complements the literature it houses.
• An incredible series that should be required reading for all Americans. I read these books last year in anticipation of the National Book Award ceremony, and each was so eye-opening. The past is brought back to life in the vivid images. The ongoing timeliness of this series cannot be overstated. One of my go-to gifts.
• I am happy to have this set of books. I hope someday our country will be free of those who hate people based solely on their outside color and their culture. I fear we have forgotten the fight and suffering mankind endured to gain their freedom and have basic civil rights--which they actually seem not to have when no one is looking.
• Much detail has been packed into the March trilogy. My review is about all three books. Reading just one is like reading the third of the way through a book. It’s not a simple overview of the Civil Rights Movement and Representative John Lewis’ part in it. It is the passionate story of Lewis determination to find freedom for his segregated brothers and sisters. At times I was a little confused about what was happening, but if I studied the graphics as well as the text, it made sense. I am impressed with how the creative writing team made this book both an intimate story of Lewis and an epic story of American History. This would be a great addition to any high school study of civil rights.
