March follows the late Congressman John Lewis from his childhood to being a part of student-led sit-ins to integrate Nashville dinner counters. Lewis narrates the book through flashbacks as he speaks to different people in the present. He shows how he came to find his voice, shape his morals, and discover his passion for change in his community. He even spends time talking about how he raised and loved chickens on his family farm as a child. Yet it still works as it is tied into the development of his ideals. It honestly felt like you were listening to John Lewis casually talk about his life. 

 

The dynamic artwork adds layers to the story. I was very pleased with this graphic novel. The way they chose to create the narrative and highlight themes and tones was well done. I also liked how different people in history were mentioned no matter how well known they may or may not have been. Generational divides and approaches to seeking change were briefly touched on, which I think is very relatable as well. I got my copies of this series from the library but now I want to own them!
