Riveting, raw capturing of the freedom rides, and the organization of the March on Washington. The bravery of the freedom riders was incredible - they knew they are likely to get beaten, jailed, might even be killed - yet they went to the heart of the segregationist South - Birmingham, AL; Jackson, MS. My biggest shock was the terrible violence, anger displayed by white racist mobs, the police, the attitude of the governors in those states.

The graphic medium is used perfectly to heighten the drama, bring home the viciousness of the mobs. The story is well written. A perfect reminder for all of us how far we have come, but also how far we still have to go.
