MARCH


This book is about John Lewis and his life and all the behind the scenes work he and others put in during this time.  It was great to learn about his early life and journey into being a civil rights leader, as it opened up my eyes even more into the topic than what I already knew.  Seeing how he and others were able to change the country is remarkable.  Especially when seeing it all visually.  The brutality he went through for desegregation and the follow him all the way to becoming a US congress member, who was awarded the presidential medal of freedom by the first black president, is absolutely a beautiful journey in itself.  It truly shows how if you’re willing to walk this long aspirational journey with the burden called trauma on your back without giving in, it’ll take you farther than any other who knows no such pain.
