Trust: America's Best Chance | Pete Buttigieg

No big deal, I‘m just sitting at my desk crying. Rest In Peace, Congressman Lewis, you absolute giant. #trust #americasbestchance #petebuttigieg #mayorpete #congressmanjohnlewis #goodtrouble #necessarytrouble

Revenge4bess I‘m sorry Congressman Lewis isn‘t here anymore either. He was the last of the Congressmen who was tougher than Ali(not scared of The Boss Baby on Pennsylvania Avenue) 4y

Revenge4bess Congressman Lewis reminded me of Congressman Ted Kennedy 4y

March (Trilogy Slipcase Set) | Andrew Aydin, John Lewis

This FCBD (Free Comic Book Day) Special from comiXology features excerpts from Books One, Two, and Three. I'll probably leave the Book Three excerpts unread. Looking forward to starting it tomorrow. In Book One, John Lewis was excited about meeting Martin Luther King. In Book Two, he's a key member of CRM leadership which, of course, includes Dr. King. #MarchInMarch #MarchTrilogy #JohnLewis #CongressmanJohnLewis

March: Book Two | Andrew Aydin, John Lewis

White Supremacy has always hidden behind Christianity, making the most asinine claims, to turn its many wrongs into "rights." Though they make these claims with straight faces, their souls are plagued with terror.

CouronneDhiver Ugh... 😔 Ignorance is so sad... and I hate to see my faith painted with it. 8y

MicheleinPhilly What Bible were these people reading? 😒 8y

Merethebookgal Ugh 😒 8y

Donna_sBookMinute @CouronneDhiver -- Some of them were actually that ignorant. But most of them were counting on the ignorance of those who didn't read the Bible to take their word as gospel. @micheleinPhilly -- probably the KJV, expecting all the "thees" and "thous" to scare the common man (of any race) away from reading it. Now that I think of it, I own a Q'uaran but haven't read it. But radical so-called Muslims use Islam to justify violence as well. 8y

Donna_sBookMinute 👉🏽 @CouronneDhiver and @Merethebookgal -- 😤 8y

March: Book Two | Andrew Aydin, John Lewis

"The police became a dangerous problem too."
Could it be that the establishment that was showing "The Ten Commandments" broke Commandment Nine? They would've had to "bear false witness," by saying the so-called "negroes" were causing a disturbance, to get the police to come out. Double standards is a major problem. But the system that's in power makes, and changes, the rules. #MarchInMarch #MarchTrilogy #JohnLewis #CongressmanJohnLewis

My introduction to graphic novels continues. If anyone's interested, #ComiXology has the March trilogy plus a bonus book for $21.99. I've already discovered it will display individual panels. What else does it do?

Donna_sBookMinute 📚🍷🔄 @Books_Wine_Repeat -- in case you haven't gotten Book 2 yet ... 8y

ladyclassics I just started getting into graphic novels in the last couple of years! I really love them and try to read some every summer :) 8y

Donna_sBookMinute @ladyclassics -- There seems to be something for every reader. 8y

Books_Wine_Repeat @Donna_sBookMinute Thanks! I'll look into it! 👍 8y

Donna_sBookMinute @Books_Wine_Repeat -- I've already come across a snag. If you like to bookmark pages and create notes, you won't be able to with this app. Lesson learned: You get what you pay for. But I'll hang with it for a while. Just wanted to give you a heads-up since I recommended it. 8y

moranadatter What do you think of the format? Are you interested in trying more? 8y

Donna_sBookMinute @kmdartist -- I don't know of another comic app to compare this one to. I like the option to read by panels. There is another series I'd like to read; but before I use this platform, I'm interested in finding other options. I've grown accustomed to the bookmarking and note features in text ebooks. I'll have to see what else is out there for graphic reading. This is totally new to me. Do you have experience with comic or graphic novel apps? 8y

moranadatter @Donna_sBookMinute Oh! I meant graphic novels. I've played around with a few apps. None are great, but ComiXology is pretty good. It would be nice to be able to make notes. That's something I wouldn't do with a paper comic. (edited) 8y

Donna_sBookMinute 👉🏽 @kmdartist -- Oh okay. I like it and plan to read the Black Panther series by Ta-Nehisi Coates. I saw some other possibilities in the app. 8y

March: Book One | John Robert Lewis, Andrew Aydin, Nate Powell

Either his understanding as a child, or two little words that were somehow dropped in the passing down of the practice, changed the meaning of this piece of advice for young John Lewis. I found a few online references. The folklore archives of roots web includes, "Never set a hen on an even number OF EGGS, or you will not be successful with the hatching." (emphasis mine). Too cute!

Donna_sBookMinute "The Book of the Farm" was published in 1890 by William Blackwood & Sons, a Scottish publishing house founded in 1804. 8y

moranadatter Wow! You saved me a trip to an academic library. Thanks! 8y

emtobiasz I wondered about this! Your interpretation makes so much sense. 8y

Merethebookgal Thanks for finding that! 8y

Donna_sBookMinute 😂 #kmdartist! That's good to know. Now you have one less errand for today. 🙂 @emtobiasz -- I couldn't let it rest. It would have kept pecking (pun intended) at me 🐓 @Merethebookgal -- my pleasure. My genealogical research has taught me to leave no stone unturned. 📕📗📘📙📖📚📓 8y

I'm reading the electronic copy from Hoopla. My box set should arrive before I finish Volume 1. This is my first graphic novel. So far, so good. I thumbed through the print copy of Book 1 at B&N; and I think will be a more comfortable read for me.

Books_Wine_Repeat I loved Volume 1. ❤ I need to get Vol 2 since it's not available on Hoopla and read along with everyone. 8y

Merethebookgal I'm glad you're enjoying it so far! And I like what you did with the graphics, very cool 👍 8y

"My dear children, read. Read everything." Loved this graphical memoir set in Alabama during Segregation. And I love that so many of my favourite characters & people spend time in their local libraries on the way to greatness #congressmanjohnlewis #librariancoreenharvey
