Discover the award-winning #1 New York Times bestseller that brings the Civil Rights Movement to life -- the stunning graphic memoir of the man called "the conscience of America."

Congressman John Lewis (GA-5) was an American icon who repeatedly made history as one of the key figures of the Civil Rights Movement. His commitment to justice and nonviolence brought him from an Alabama sharecropper's farm to the halls of Congress, from a segregated schoolroom to the 1963 March on Washington, and from receiving beatings from state troopers to receiving the Medal of Freedom from the first African-American president.

To share his remarkable story with new generations, Lewis turned to the graphic novel format, in collaboration with co-writer Andrew Aydin and artist Nate Powell, and inspired by a 1950s comic book that helped prepare his own generation to join the struggle. The resulting trilogy, March, became a groundbreaking and definitive work of graphic memoir -- a perennial bestseller, a vital resource in classrooms across America, the recipient of countless honors, and the first comic to win the National Book Award. Today, March continues to animate the lessons of history with vivid life for new generations, powerfully and urgently relevant for our world. It is a vivid first-hand account of John Lewis' lifelong struggle for civil and human rights, meditating in the mod­ern age on the distance traveled since the days of Jim Crow and segregation. Rooted in Lewis' personal story, it also reflects on the highs and lows of the broader Civil Rights Movement, with a particular focus on young adults. Through an unforgettable literary and artistic narrative, March portrays the surpassing courage, sacrifice, and revolutionary nonviolence that transformed American society in the 1960s, guided by principles and tactics that remain vitally relevant in the present day.

This new single-volume edition features a detailed index.

John Lewis (1940-2020) served as the U.S. Representative for Georgia's fifth congressional district from 1987 until his passing in 2020 and was an American Icon widely known for his role in the Civil Rights Movement. He organized sit-ins at segregated lunch counters in Nashville, then made national headlines as one of the Freedom Riders who challenged segregation at interstate bus terminals. As chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), Lewis was dubbed one of the "Big Six" leaders of groups who organized the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. He coordinated SNCC efforts to organize voter registration in the 1964 Freedom Summer and was violently attacked by Alabama state troopers while co-leading a march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama in 1965, drawing global attention that helped hasten the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. He went on to lead organizations such as the Voter Education Project and the federal volunteer agency ACTION. Lewis's award-winning books include Walking with the Wind: A Memoir of the Movement, Across That Bridge: Life Lessons and a Vision for Change, the groundbreaking graphic memoir trilogy March, and the posthumous follow-up Run: Book One.
