Description
The concluding volume of a landmark graphic memoir follows John Lewis and fellow young activists from the 1963 Birmingham church bombing through the Freedom Vote, Mississippi Freedom Summer, the battle for the Democratic Party, and the 1965 Selma campaign. As the Civil Rights Movement gains national attention, its leaders face increasingly brutal opposition while pursuing change through disciplined, courageous nonviolence. Vivid artwork and personal testimony illuminate the movement’s strategies, sacrifices, moral foundations, and the remarkable resilience of those who challenged American injustice. Framed by reflections on Barack Obama’s first inauguration, this powerful history connects the struggle of the past with the enduring pursuit of equality and democratic progress.
