Reddit reviews March: Book One

Believing in equality, and marching against Trump in a show of solidarity for those values, is the point - "achieving equality" happens through legislation and societal evolution. Kind of like how women had to march for suffrage, but the march didn't "achieve" suffrage. If you honestly don't understand the purpose of protest, I suggest you read "March: Book One", or "Freedom is a Constant Struggle".

For your second question: women are still paid less for the same job a man has (the discrepancy of which is even worse for women of color), women are still vastly outnumbered in positions of power (CEOs, World Leaders, etc.), and when they do find themselves in those positions, like Hillary Clinton, they are derided for everything from the pitch of their voice, to the clothes they wear, to their ability to overcome their "emotions".

And I swear to God, if you try to reply with some "but things are so much better!" line: things were also better for women after they won the vote, but it still took until 1993 for Marital Rape to be considered a crime in the U.S. "Progress" is not a road that just ends, where we all pat each-other on the back and look out at our utopia - because humans will always be imperfect, and there will always be something to improve.

I would suggest you read the March series by John Lewis for a graphic novel tutorial on the history of the American civil rights movement.

So you're saying the state can't refuse service, but everyone else can.

Please please please read some history. Start with March, which is a comic book, and an easy read.

While not war related, March has a lot of historical context. It details the civil rights movement told through the perspective of Civil Rights leader John Lewis. Great comic, highly recommend.

In the UK, John Lewis is a major department store chain.

In the US, John Lewis is a Civil Rights icon who marched with MLK and was arrested over 40 times for peaceful protests. He also authored a NYT bestselling graphic novel and as a Congressman led the recent House sit-ins.

Both are cool. But I like our John Lewis better.

It's got John Lewis in is sit-in comeback tour!

Seriously though, read March. It's harrowing and inspiring and the art is pretty solid.

How about March?

Amazon or a nearby comic shop (though they may not have it on hand, but they should be happy to order it for you... knowing it's called March Book One and published by Top Shelf will make it easier for them to find).

March is a badass trilogy of graphic novels about John Lewis struggle for human rights. https://www.amazon.com/March-Book-One-John-Lewis/dp/1603093001/ref=nodl_#productDescription_secondary_view_div_1537048099015

There's a graphic novel about Rep John Lewis and his time as a civil rights marcher with Dr. King in the 1960s. I went to Washington with a delegation of teachers this summer and got to meet him. He's amazing.

There is a trilogy of graphic novels about him (he's actually one of the authors) that I would highly recommend to everyone. Here's the first book if anyone is interested.
