Andrew Aydin and 1 other person liked Ann's review of Run: Book One: "This book was finished after Lewis died and was more interesting to me in some ways than the March trilogy. There was less of Dr. King and more untold stories of Lewis’s time leading SNCC. It depicted Lewis and SNCC coming out against the Vietnam War" Read more of this review »
