Congressman John Lewis & the March Trilogy
John Lewis has spoken several times at ALA conferences lately. I was able to hear him speak a few years back when his graphic novel biography, March: Book One, first came out. He spoke multiple times at this year's Annual Conference, as the March team was in Chicago to celebrate the many ALA awards they won in 2017. Lots of standing ovations, and tears... As my committee was one of those giving March an award, I spent a lot of the conference at events featuring the March team.
I wanted to share a few video clips for the Puffin - please take a look below! There are also some excellent teacher's guides available for the Congressman's books, also linked below.
