After you march, you run. The next phase of John Lewis’s life, after Selma. How SNCC changed away from the nonviolence he treasured, even as much violence was perpetrated against Blacks. Ends as he decides to run for office. Great graphic history.

I do really hope that they continue on with this series even though John Lewis has passed away because it is really important to show the work and the backlash that happened after this big victories because those big victories are usually where the story ends. It also shows more of the politics side of things which I think is important too. I also really appreciate in this one that they explained their research and some of the artistic decisions, that really added to how I saw the book. It really is a perfect blend of my loves for literature and history.

After a slow start to this volume (with lots of names and events that unfortunately ran together for me), Lewis and Aydin move to the fracturing of the SNCC after the passage of the Civil Rights Voting Act. And the book picks up tremendously at that point, as Lewis and his colleagues try to work out the impact of the Vietnam War and the growing disinterest in nonviolence. (I also found Julian Bond's story of being elected and thrown out of the Georgia House of Representatives fascinating.) The book ends on somewhat of a personal cliffhanger for Lewis, and I am very interested to see what happens next.
But, I really missed Powell's artwork. (I believe you get a few pages of Powell by himself at the start.) Although Fury's artwork grew on me during the read, I found some pages flat and muddy, and I thought the lettering lacked dynamicism.

I received a copy of this book in a Goodreads Giveaway. I’ve been looking forward to this book since learning that the authors and artists were going to follow up on the March Trilogy. This volume did not disappoint. The volume delves into the years immediately following the Voting Rights Act with depth, grace, and honesty. The fact that it tells a less familiar story than the March Trilogy is particularly powerful, and I would recommend it to my students.

I loved MARCH when I read it in 2020, and this is just a continuation/expansion of the same great “I was there” storytelling with visceral art style that the previous series had. I’m hoping they have enough from input from John Lewis to continue this series, as well. RIP to a true legend.
