I went on to write my graduate thesis on the ["Montgomery Story"] comic book itself. It was the first long-form history that was ever written about it. And it's how I found out Martin Luther King actually helped edit "Martin Luther King and the Montgomery Story."

You cannot understand the politics of today without understanding the Civil Rights Movement and the role it played in our society.

I think this ['March']is essential reading to understand the Black Lives Matter movement. I think it's also essential reading for the Black Lives Matter movement, so that they understand the political context that they're engaging in.

And if you're trying to capture the essence of what it is you're trying to tell, you don't have a whole lot of space.
