Impact Series Book Club: "March – Book 1" by John Lewis
In-Person
Join Librarian Stacy Alesi for the monthly Impact Series book club discussion. This month's theme is Black History, focusing on "March – Book 1" by John Lewis.
March is a vivid first-hand account of John Lewis's lifelong struggle for civil and human rights, meditating in the modern age on the distance traveled since the days of Jim Crow and segregation. Rooted in Lewis' personal story, it also reflects on the highs and lows of the broader civil rights movement.
Book One spans John Lewis' youth in rural Alabama, his life-changing meeting with Martin Luther King, Jr., the birth of the Nashville Student Movement, and their battle to tear down segregation through nonviolent lunch counter sit-ins, building to a stunning climax on the steps of City Hall.
