REVIEW BY BSU book covers trailblazing civil rights leaders such as Malcom X and John Lewis, as well as notable civil rights protests. The artwork in the March graphic novel book trilogy is beautifully done, even though it is only black and white (which I see as a rhetorical choice on the author’s part). The March Trilogy follows a young John Lewis and his journey into the Civil Rights movement. The books cover Lewis’s journey to becoming the leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, how he becomes one of the “Big Six” leaders of the civil rights movement, and his journey to becoming a member of the House of Representatives.

Overall, this book is amazing and thorough. I would recommend this book to anyone- with a warning for intense violence.

In honor of Black History Month, I would like to talk about the debut album of the quintessential Black punk band, Bad Brains. The album is quite interesting. Most of the tracks are hardcore punk rock, but a select few of the tracks, such as “I Love I Jah” and “Leaving Babylon,” are reggae.
