March: Book Two | Andrew Aydin, John Lewis

This was a powerful volume. Many moments stood out, but a favorite is the image of Aretha Franklin singing “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” at President Obama‘s inauguration, contrasted with the images of the bloodied and beaten freedom riders in Montgomery in 1961. ⬇️

psalva I was struck by the development of Lewis‘ speech for the ‘63 March on Washington as well, and the argument about the inclusion of various sentiments. It‘s not a speech I had read before, but it‘s quite moving. I‘m glad they included the original text in the back. I wasn‘t convinced this story would be suited for the graphic novel format, but I appreciate contrasts made possible by the back and forth flow of the story‘s timeline. 1mo

Next row of my #readinglogsnake is March Book Two. I continued the series in honor of #BlackHistoryMonth. This story follows John Lewis during his time with the freedom riders. 5/5 ⭐️ #ARRCReads #BooksAndCrafts

Book 2 of 3 focused more upon the Freedom Day and the horrors of fighting for the right to vote. This one was a lot darker than the first. I‘ve never heard of this day meant to encourage people to register to vote. This was more educational, I felt, than the first which focused more of John‘s upbringing into the civil rights movement. above is a stark reminder of where we are now. Nice insert of Obama‘s inauguration, thanking John for all he did

The second installment picks up with the Freedom Riders and finishes with the March on Washington. I think I found this even more engrossing than the first installment. I‘m excited to read the third and final book within the next few weeks - 5/5.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Where Book One showed us the very beginnings of John Lewis‘s activism & the sit-ins in Nashville, Book Two follows him through his time with the Freedom Riders and the March on Washington with Dr. King.I said it in my review of Book One, but it‘s just incredible to me the example Lewis left of ways to practice civil disobedience & full nonviolence.His courage & the way he used his voice are humbling. If you haven‘t read these, please do.

Would‘ve hit hard no matter what, but reading it after Lewis‘s passing made it so much more poignant, esp b/c we‘re STILL fighting for the same ideals he nearly gave his life for decades ago. This is a painful read, brutality & cruelty is on full clear display. But so is the bravery & power of Lewis & others in the CRM. If you want to be on the right side of history, that means being on John Lewis‘s side. Phenomenal read, eager for the 3rd. 5/5 ⭐️

I‘d ordered this back in May from a Black-owned indie bookstore, and because of the massive influx of orders a lot of those stores received around that time, it was delayed a while (which I completely understood, of course.) It happened to arrive a few days ago...and last night we lost Rep. John Lewis. I know this volume gets very heavy, but it‘s the right time to read it. Rest in power, sir 💔 #nowreading

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lewis and the Nashville Student Movement continued their progress. The Freedom Riders headed to Alabama. Very aggressive and violent times ensued, yet the nonviolent protests persisted. The graphic memoir format is a powerful and interesting way to learn about this tumultuous time in US history. On to book three!

Just as good as Book 1, but more difficult to read. It doesn't flinch from the violence that the protesters were met with. In this one, President Obama's inauguration day becomes less a frame story and more a series of interludes to break up the horrific violence of the main story and remind the reader that there is still hope.

Finished Book Two over breakfast this morning, Maya is still reading it. This volume gets deep into some of the most violent moments during the Civil Rights era. I have such a profound and deep respect for resistors like John Lewis who stood firm on their principles of civil disobedience and nonviolence in the face of such despicable acts of violence against them.

I wish I‘d read book two closer to book one, because I lost track of some of the people, but still made it through in one sitting. It‘s an easy read while also a very difficult one. I cried a few times, because it‘s excruciating to see what so many suffered so recently that should have been resolved so long ago. And in so many ways we‘re still fighting the same fight.

Book 3 of the year.

I enjoyed this history lesson but it hurt my heart😢
To know all that was endured so that I can vote, be equal and be treated fairly....I applaud Mr. Lewis for bringing his history to us.
The book is an easy read. It was hard not to read in one sitting....it really pulls you in to what was happening. Looking forward book 3 and to see this on the screen soon.

I absolutely love with my books complement one another. In this case, it‘s so interesting to see the same events through two different lenses, and to see many of the same people portrayed. In particular: Bayard Rustin, Philip Randolph, John Farmer, and of course John Lewis and Malcolm X.

#ReadingBlackout

Tamra I am looking for a good MalcolmX biography because I am not as familiar with his story. Is this it? Did you read these two simultaneously? I haven‘t purchased March yet! (edited) 7y
Tamra Your post also reminds me of Baldwin‘s unfinished literary project. I wish he had because it likely would have been so insightful. 7y
cocomass @Tamra this is an excellent biography, and even more interesting if you‘ve also read his autobiography, which is less academic/extremely engaging and is probably a good intro to the man himself in his own words. 7y
