\"John<\/a>
John Lewis, Andrew Aydin and Nate Powell co-authored \u201cMarch,\u201d a trilogy graphic novel series aimed to educate those unfamiliar with Lewis\u2019 story during the civil rights movement, but to also inspire a new generation of activists.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

<\/b>The son of sharecroppers raised in the little town of Troy, Alabama, deep in the segregated South, Rep. John Lewis was a boy when he asked his mother why black children were forced to sit in the balcony level of the downtown movie theater, away from the white children seated on the first floor.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mother said, \u2018Boy, that\u2019s the way it is. Don\u2019t get in the way. Don\u2019t get in trouble,\u2019\u201d he recalled.<\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t listen to his mother, going on instead to play a vital role in the civil right\u2019s movement of the 1960s with his participation in the Nashville lunch counter sit-ins, freedom rides and peaceful marches throughout the South.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe words of leadership of Dr. King inspired me to find a way, to get in the way,\u201d Lewis said during an Aug.17 speaking engagement at the University of San Francisco\u00a0 <\/span>to promote \u201cMarch,\u201d a graphic novel trilogy intended to teach Lewis\u2019 story to a younger generation. \u201cI got in trouble. Good trouble. Necessary trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Print\"<\/a>Lewis, 76, who has served as a Georgia Congressman for nearly three decades, co-authored the books with his digital director and policy advisor, Andrew Aydin, and illustrator, Nate Powell. \u201cMarch,\u201d which currently occupies the top three slots on the New York Time\u2019s Best Sellers List for paperback graphic books, has been adopted in classrooms across the country, and is now available in San Francisco Unified School District high school libraries.<\/p>\n

Lewis, who was in high school in 1956, tried to check out books from his local library in Troy, but was turned away because the library was for \u201cwhites only.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI never went back to that public library until July 5, 1998 for a book signing of my first book, \u2018Walking with the Wind,\u2019\u201d Lewis told the nearly 300 people who packed the McLaren Conference Center at USF. \u201cIt says something about the distance we\u2019ve come. And the progress we\u2019ve made in laying down the burden of race.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fighting for that progress landed Lewis in jail nearly 60 times in the 1960s, and five more times since he\u2019s been in congress.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first time I got arrested, I felt free. I felt liberated. I felt like I crossed over,\u201d Lewis said. \u201cAnd I\u2019ll probably get arrested again for something. My philosophy is very simple. If you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have a moral obligation, a mission, and a mandate to stand up and do something\u2026find a way to get in the way.\u201d<\/p>\n

But despite that progress, Lewis, Aydin and Powell all acknowledged that their fight for justice is unfinished. The once overt racism of the 1960s has now been replaced by more covert forms of bigotry.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe changed that. But we\u2019re not there yet. Even today, the scars and stains of racism are deeply embedded in our society,\u201d Lewis said, bringing up South Carolina congressman Joe Wilson, who in 2009 yelled \u201cyou lie\u201d at Obama during his joint session speech. \u201cWould he have said that to a white person, or only [to] a person of color?\u201d<\/p>\n

The book\u2019s co-author Aydin, the son of a Muslim immigrant, recently grew a beard in protest of the anti-Muslim rhetoric that has swept the nation amid Donald Trump\u2019s presidential campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re living in a world right now where things are being said that make people scared. It\u2019s meant to intimidate them, and to keep them from sticking up for themselves,\u201d Aydin said. \u201cThere are fundamental problems in this country, that because of technology we\u2019re able to see them clearly for the first time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Powell, the book\u2019s illustrator, believes that people showing their bigotry is a step forward in having an honest conversation about race.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like the kind of confrontation, which makes people show their true colors \u2026 is a sign of tearing the wrapper off of the present, and seeing what\u2019s inside and dealing with what\u2019s inside the box,\u201d Powell said.<\/p>\n

The book<\/b><\/p>\n

Raised by a single mother and longing for super heroes, Aydin found refuge in comic books.<\/p>\n

Working at the end of John Lewis\u2019 congressional re-election campaign in 2008 as a press secretary, Aydin revealed to colleagues his plans on attending a comic book convention. All of his peers laughed, except for Lewis, who told the group about the 1957, 16-page comic book, \u201cMartin Luther King and the Montgomery Story.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was John Lewis standing up for me as he stood up for so many,\u201d Aydin said. The next day, he pitched the idea of Lewis writing a comic book as a way of reaching young people in the movement.<\/p>\n

Lewis eventually agreed, on the condition that Aydin write it with him.<\/p>\n

The two worked for five years to tell Lewis\u2019 story, publishing their first book in 2013.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believed that we had to do everything we possibly could to tell John Lewis\u2019 story,\u201d Aydin said. \u201cHe\u2019s the hero we all need.\u201d<\/p>\n

USF student Zasharah Araujo, who attended the event, became familiar with Lewis\u2019 story about 10 years ago when she read \u201cWalking with the Wind.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAt a time in my life when I was trying to figure out who I was, as a Mexican-American, a child of immigrants, I felt different,\u201d Araujo said. \u201cWhen you\u2019re not from the same class or the same race or you don\u2019t have the same opportunities, you realize there is something you have to fight. It really opened my eyes and it helped me heal.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
