These three graphic novels comprise the biography of civil rights leader, Representative John Lewis. Drawn by Nate Powell, these stunning black and white illustrations describe John Lewis and his involvement with the civil rights movement and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. Intermixed with the narration of the 1960s struggle are flash forwards to January 20, 2009 when President Obama was inaugurated as the first African American president.
All students should read at least the first book if not the entire trilogy. They are powerful books describing a dark period in our history. This book gets my top rating!
