March: Book Three
John Lewis, Andrew Aydin
The final volume of John Lewis’s graphic memoir begins after the 1963 bombing of a Birmingham church that killed four Black girls. Lewis, then a leader in SNCC, recounts how the violence helped intensify the organization’s push for voting rights. The book centers on those campaigns and on activists including Fannie Lou Hamer and Bob Moses, tracing grief and anger into political action. Its account reaches the 1965 signing of the Voting Rights Act, with Lewis’s memories framed by Barack Obama’s 2009 inauguration.
