March (Books 1-3) by John Lewis (Author), Andrew Aydin (Author), and Nate Powell (Illustrator)

In this book trilogy, American civil rights icon Congressman John Lewis takes readers through what it was like to go from an Alabama sharecropper’s farm to the halls of Congress, from a segregated schoolroom to the 1963 March on Washington, and from receiving beatings from state troopers to receiving the Medal of Freedom from the first African-American president. The illustrations work with the text to drive home the struggle of so many Americans who fought for equality in a dark time.
