#1 New York Times Bestseller
Welcome to the
stunning conclusion of the award-winning and best-selling MARCH trilogy.
Congressman John Lewis, an American icon and one of the key figures of the civil
rights movement, joins co-writer Andrew Aydin and artist Nate Powell to bring
the lessons of history to vivid life for a new generation, urgently relevant for
today's world.
By the fall of 1963, the Civil Rights Movement has
penetrated deep into the American consciousness, and as chairman of the Student
Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, John Lewis is guiding the tip of the spear.
Through relentless direct action, SNCC continues to force the nation to confront
its own blatant injustice, but for every step forward, the danger grows more
intense: Jim Crow strikes back through legal tricks, intimidation, violence, and
death. The only hope for lasting change is to give voice to the millions of
Americans silenced by voter suppression: "One Man, One
Vote."
To carry out their nonviolent revolution, Lewis and an army
of young activists launch a series of innovative campaigns, including the
Freedom Vote, Mississippi Freedom Summer, and an all-out battle for the soul of
the Democratic Party waged live on national television.
With these new
struggles come new allies, new opponents, and an unpredictable new president who
might be both at once. But fractures within the movement are deepening ... even
as 25-year-old John Lewis prepares to risk everything in a historic showdown
high above the Alabama river, in a town called Selma.
