After reading this comic I came to the conclusion that I enjoy reading them a lot more than reading a regular book. One thing that I like about comics is the fact that there are pictures and the reading is not too much to the point where I fall asleep while reading. In the past, I have read other comics like The Walking Dead series which was a lot of fun to see the difference between the comics and the show. When the comic first started, I believe it was from Martin Luther King’s march in Selma which I learned about briefly while watching the movie “Selma” during my senior year of high school. I wouldn’t necessarily call myself a history buff especially because I didn’t really learn that much about it. For example, in the first 61 pages, I was introduced to John Lewis for the first time who was a Congressman who spoke 6th out of 10 people during Martin Luther King’s “I Have A Dream” speech. To me, this is very important to our society today. For instance, not just this comic but about this topic of racial equality. Even to this day we struggle with this and this has been going on for so long and to me it’s very heartbreaking to see this as I along with a majority of the people in this world want everyone to be equal no matter who you are, where you come from, or what you look like. On another note, one thing that I did already know that I will quote from this comic are the Beatitudes which I learned while attending a private Catholic high school. John Lewis, Andrew Aydin, and Nate Powell write, “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God” (Lewis et. al 28). In the comic, John Lewis talks about his childhood which I found very interesting because he cared very deeply for the chickens that he raised. He grew so emotionally attached that he named some of the chickens and could tell all of them apart. In addition, he would bury the chickens that would die and even baptize them after thinking of becoming a preacher. Lastly, I do think that this is very important for our country. Lewis, Aydin, and Powell write, “The county didn’t bother paving roads into ‘colored’ communities unless it was necessary for white traffic to pass through” (Lewis et. al 48). Hearing this and knowing in the past that white people and African Americans were segregated meaning African Americans had separate bathrooms, restaurants, and water fountains I can tell that we have made a step in the right direction because to my knowledge, this is not the case anymore. However, racial equality is still not where it needs to be and needs a lot more work which really opened a lot of people’s eyes after innocent African Americans were killed such as George Floyd and Brianna Taylor.
