Synopsis
Marches are organized to celebrate and recognize greatness, as well as to raise awareness and fight inequality. Throughout history, inspirational leaders have come forward as heroes for their cause, inspiring others to join them.
In this book, students in a futuristic classroom learn about topics like structural inequality, about the battles fought from the Civil Rights era through the Black Lives Matter movement, and how stories of people like George Floyd can move people to action.
On the March is set in the future, during a time of true equality. In this future, a teacher takes his students back in time―to our past and present―to learn about times of prejudice and change.
This graphic novel contains discussion topics, thought-provoking questions, and actions students can take to be allies in the continuing fight for equality.

Reviews
Gr 4-6-Bright, cartoon illustrations belie the seriousness of this graphic nonfiction series. In the year 2100 Mr. Rustin takes his students to important moments in civil rights history. They visit John Lewis's march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, the Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests of 2020, and the March on Washington. The author frequently stresses that no one victory led to equal rights for all or an end to racism. The importance of understanding history is also a frequent topic. Each book includes a research activity, glossary, and index. VERDICT This series does so much more than just relay information on civil rights, it also captures the humanity of the movement and those involved. Highly recommended.α(c) Copyright 2011.
