I am so thankful this series exists, and so sad that Mr. Lewis passed away earlier this year. This installment of the March series covers the fight for the Black right to vote in Mississippi and Alabama, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the march (and attempted marches) from Selma to Montgomery, Ala. These books are spectacular for bringing history to life, with all the frustration and brutality front and center, not whitewashed or rosy in retrospect. Lewis and his collaborators did a fantastic job with the whole series.
