Â鶹ӰÊÓ

Congressman and civil rights advocate, John Lewis’ graphic novel March: Book One, has been selected for the 2014 Â鶹ӰÊÓ Community Reads program. March: Book One is the first installation of a trilogy, and 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.   Students in HIS 132 courses at Â鶹ӰÊÓ are reading the book this semester. The library has several copies available of this book for loan and on reserve. Â鶹ӰÊÓ Reads Together, held every two years, is sponsored by the Â鶹ӰÊÓ County Library, and encourages residents to read and discuss a single book. Admission to all programs is free.
