Sinossi
Oggi tendiamo a pensare che i risultati conseguiti dal movimento americano per i diritti civili siano stati un atto dovuto della democrazia, quasi un esito inevitabile del progresso sociale. Furono invece la dolorosa conquista di uomini e donne, spesso giovanissimi, che dovettero patire violenze indicibili lungo il corso di una protratta stagione di disciplina quotidiana, di addestramento alla non-violenza, di determinazione incrollabile verso uno storico obiettivo di giustizia. John Lewis, protagonista principe di quella stagione, consegna oggi a questo acclamato memoir in forma di graphic novel il vivido racconto dall'interno della lunga, e a oggi incompiuta, marcia americana per l'uguaglianza. " March. Libro uno" è il primo volume di una trilogia.

On the contrary, it moved me to tears and gave me goosebumps. The novel tells the story of John Lewis, his life and his fight in the civil righ Leggi tutto
RIP, John Lewis. If you don't know him well or at all, this wonderful and much acclaimed series was in part adapted from Lewis's autobiography. Not only for young people, though this was designed for young adults and provides a powerful introduction to the civil rights era through Lewis's eyes. 10/17 Leggi tutto
This was completely amazing. I don't even have the words to express how much I enjoyed this graphic novel. I know quite a bit about the Civil Rights Movement from classes I've taken or from my own personal research; however, I always seem to learn something new every time I read another personal acc Leggi tutto
