His commitment to justice and nonviolencetook 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.\n\nNow, to share his remarkable story with new generations, Lewis presents \u003cem\u003eMarch\u003c\/em\u003e, a graphic novel trilogy, in collaboration with co-writer \u003cstrong\u003eAndrew Aydin\u003c\/strong\u003e and New York Times best-selling artist \u003cstrong\u003eNate Powell\u003c\/strong\u003e (winner of the Eisner Award and LA Times Book Prize finalist for \u003cem\u003eSwallow Me Whole\u003c\/em\u003e).\n\n\u003cem\u003eMarch\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\n\nBook One spans John Lewis' 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\nMany years ago, John Lewis and other student activists drew inspiration from the 1958 comic book \"Martin Luther King and the Montgomery Story.\" Now, his own comics bring those days to life for a new audience, testifying to a movement whose echoes will be heard for generations.\n\nWinner of The Coretta Scott King Award; the Michael L.
