MARCH BOOK ONE, by John Lewis, Andrew Aydin and Nate Powell.
Lewis was chairman of the Students Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and was considered one of the "Big Six" leaders of the civil rights movement. He has served in the US Congress since 1987 and was awarded the Medal of Freedom by President Obama in 2011.
Book One tells of Lewis's childhood in rural Alabama, his desire as a young man to be a preacher, his life-changing interactions with Martin Luther King, Jr., and the nonviolent sit-ins he joined at lunch counters in Nashville as a means of undermining segregation.
