The graphic novel medium invites readers into the opposition that Lewis and other civil rights workers faced, and the victories they won, in visually arresting artwork and gripping dialogue. March follows the story of Lewis’ years of activism from the sit-ins in Nashville, Tennessee to the voter registration march in Selma, Alabama.Ī devout Christian whose activism was motivated and shaped by his faith, Lewis’ story is inspiring and dramatic. While in seminary, Lewis helped found the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, which spearheaded many iconic moments of the U.S. I recently read the 3-volume graphic novel March by the late civil rights giant and long-serving congressman from Georgia, John Lewis.
