March

John Lewis narrates his journey from an Alabama childhood into the US civil rights movement. The trilogy connects his personal experiences with sit-ins, marches and collective campaigns for voting rights.

March makes a public history intimate without losing the movement’s collective character. It shows the discipline and risk required of ordinary participants, not only the speeches remembered afterward.

Graphic memoir and civil rights history meet in a narrative about nonviolence, organization and political change.

Powell’s energetic black-and-white pages move between crowded demonstrations and close private moments. The shifting scale gives both movement and memory weight.
