Rep. John Lewis Releases 3rd Novel in Series
The title is "March: Book Three"
Troy native, Civil Rights Icon and U.S. Representative John Lewis (D- Ga.) has published a third book in his graphic novel series about the Civil Rights Movement.
The Washington Post reviews the new volume with a nod toward Selma’s central role:
“The Selma march effectively bookends the entire trilogy, so we know that young John Lewis will be beaten by a trooper. Soon enough, we are submerged into the bloody clash as batons are swung, skulls are cracked and tear gas canisters clink and hiss.
Then comes one of the series’ most gripping images: Lewis is in close-up on the ground, in a pool of his own blood, wispy dialogue balloons rendering his words indecipherable until the first-person narrative of recollection …
“I thought I was going to die.”
The Washington Post, August 2, 2016
The graphic novel is titled March; Book Three (Top Shelf/IDW ).
