March: Book One by John Lewis, Andrew Aydin
4.0

Really well done graphic novel about the civil rights marches in the American south, and the role that John Lewis played in them. This is as much a coming of age for individual as much as society, as Lewis' childhood ages into awareness and response to the racism in his community.

If I've one criticism it's that some of the speech bubbles were very hard to read. I kind of got the feeling that they were meant to indicate background noise and conversation, but I spent a lot of time squinting and trying to make out words instead of focusing on the fantastic illustrations.
