³Ô¹ÏÍ·Ìõ

Congressman and civil rights advocate, John Lewis’ graphic novel March: Book One, has been selected for the 2014 ³Ô¹ÏÍ·Ìõ 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 ³Ô¹ÏÍ·Ìõ are reading the book this semester. The library has several copies available of this book for loan and on reserve. ³Ô¹ÏÍ·Ìõ Reads Together, held every two years, is sponsored by the ³Ô¹ÏÍ·Ìõ County Library, and encourages residents to read and discuss a single book. Admission to all programs is free. View the link below for information about book related events and activities in October.
