Pick of the Week- March: Book 3 (reprise)


is March: Book 3 by John Lewis, Andrew Aydin, and Nate Powell. The last installment of the graphic memoir of John Lewis finishes the epic arch of John Lewis' story from the front lines of the Civil Rights Movement to his witnessing the inauguration of Barack Obama as president of the United States. The most dramatic of the three books, March: Book 3 takes you through the most tense and violent period of Civil Rights struggle- the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, the murder of three Civil Rights workers in Mississippi to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Don't miss the epic conclusion of the masterpiece graphic memoir of a hero of the Civil Rights Movement.

March: Book 3 is being reposted since its unprecedented three ALA Youth Media award wins. Last year, it also won the National Book Award for best Young Adult Book.
