This is an important book. Some may think less of it because of the graphic novel format. Some may struggle with the fact that it is based on one man's perspective of the Civil Rights movement. Whether one agrees with John Lewis' political viewpoints, I believe there is enough evidence to support the truthfulness of this story.

Lewis continues to tell the story of peaceful protests for equal rights. There is definitely anger and hate on display. Changing public perception comes with resistance and some of that resistance is violent.

This book has given me a look into realities I was ignorant of. I'd like to believe that I have a better understanding and sympathy for what Lewis and his compatriots went through. It also inspires me to be more intentional in how I treat others people. I am trying not to make assumptions about people simply on what I can see on the outside of them. Instead, I want to try to see others from the reality of God's love given equally to all.

I recommend this book, the series as a whole, to those who want to better understand our past. I would especially recommend it to those who would like to better understand feels citizens that make one nervous because they look, talk, and do things a little differently.
