 "March is a vivid first-hand 
 account of Lewis's 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's personal story, it also reflects on 
 the highs and lows of the broader civil rights 
 movement. Book One spans his youth in rural 
 Alabama, his life-changing meeting with Martin 
 Luther King Jr., the birth of the Nashville 
 Student Movement, and their battle to tear 
 down segregation through nonviolent lunch counter 
 sit-ins, building to a stunning climax 
 on the steps of City Hall." \n\n
