March Reading Guide
Reading guide aims to expand formal and informal opportunities for dialogue about March, graphic novel about civil rights leader John Lewis.
The graphic novel trilogy March, written by John Lewis and Andrew Aydin and illustrated by acclaimed artist Nate Powell, documents Lewis’s first-hand account of the African American Civil Rights Movement, while illuminating the broader struggle for racial equality and justice in the U.S. This reading guide for March, Book One has been designed with university courses and the needs of university students in mind, in hopes that expanding formal and informal opportunities for dialogue about March will contribute to broader discussions about diversity, inclusion, justice, and equity. The guide includes ample room to adapt the substance and pedagogy of outlined classroom-based discussions and activities, in order to better align with the discipline or field of study emphasized in a range of courses, as well as contribute to multi- and inter-disciplinary dialogues.
