Reddit mentions of March (Trilogy Slipcase Set)

Hopefully, this brings attention to the role that John Lewis played in the civil rights era.

I know of him, but I don't know as much as I should, so I ordered the graphic novel he made called March. Apparently it's very good.

Hey now. If we're going to be good people...

If you haven't, please go read John Lewis's book series March. it's an incredible read, and has some information you wouldn't normally find in a conventional American history book.

Ooh! I used to love reading new things that teachers left out for us when we finished tests early or whatever. I don't know what kind of reading you typically arrange, but can I suggest bringing some comics? Even when the subjects aren't distinctly for teens, the medium can be a good way to introduce new topics and characters that they typically wouldn't pick up (kind of like your "ooh, Teen Vogue -- just kidding, it's also political news" plan).

Off the top of my head, I can recommend March, which is about John Lewis and the civil rights movement; Ms. Marvel, who is a young Muslim American superhero; American Born Chinese, which is a really well done coming-of-age story. Just something to consider if you ever want new things to bring in for teens.

I think that's John Lewis, not Elijah Cummings - https://www.amazon.com/March-Trilogy-Slipcase-John-Lewis/dp/1603093958/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?keywords=Elijah+Cummings&qid=1571322512&sr=8-2

• March is a series of three graphic novels about the civil Rights movement, it's very exciting while staying extremely historically accurate. I highly recommend this. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1603093958/
  
• Maus by Art Spiegelman about the Holocaust using anthropomorphic animals. It's based on his parents experience of the concentration camps. https://www.amazon.com/Complete-MAUS-Art-Spiegelman/dp/0141014083/
  
• Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi is set in Tehran, Iran during the 1960's. Telling a very personal tale about life there before, during, and after the Islamic Revolution. https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Persepolis-Marjane-Satrapi/dp/0375714839/

Well, in general in the United States we have laws that say "if you serve the public you don't get to say "white people only."" There is a very good reason for having these laws. If you don't understand why, I might recommend reading a bit of history. You can start easy with a comic book.

John Lewis wrote an award winning graphic novel titled "March" that explains a lot about civil rights history in the sixties. https://www.amazon.com/March-Trilogy-Slipcase-John-Lewis/dp/1603093958
