Le climat politique et la nouvelle élection de Trump est tellement décourageante que de lire ce qui s’est passé est trop pour moi en ce moment.

A worthy conclusion to an excellent trilogy.  This third volume focuses on Selma and the struggle for voting rights, and delves into the complexities of the relationships between different individuals and groups within the civil rights movement.  This is far from my first book on this topic, but I still learned a lot.  5 stars for all three installments - highly recommend.

This series is a really good, really intimate look into a portion of the 60s civil rights movement. I really enjoyed this book especially, it's just, like in the other two, the organization of it sometimes felt a little strange, like they would mention something and then never elaborate on it, or the pictures wouldn't quite match what they were talking about. But overall it's a very good series, and I would recommend it!

Again, hard to review individually when I read all three together, but this one is probably my favorite. I can definitely see how it won a National Book Award. Of course this was the culmination of all three books and the march from Selma to Washington, but there were just some parts that hit extra hard emotionally and mentally that I loved.

Work read. Great series for high school students to read about the Civil Rights movement from an own voices perspective, and I think they benefit from the graphic novel format.
