HUMS Connecting with national leaders! "March Book One "Book Group Travels to the Flynn to see Co-Authors John Lewis & Andrew Aydin On Tuesday, October 8, members of the March: Book One book group traveled to the Flynn Theater to see John Lewis and Andrew Aydin talk about their Award Winning Graphic Biography, March: Book One, which chronicles the life of social activist and Georgia Congressman John Lewis. Almost sixty years ago, Martin Luther King, Jr. edited a 16-page comic book about the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Distributed by hand in churches, schools, and nonviolence workshops, it dramatized the fledgling movement and its tactics to a generation of future leaders, including a young John Lewis. Today, Congressman Lewis is continuing that legacy, using comics to educate and inspire a new generation. Congressman Lewis and co-author Andrew Aydin will visit the Flynn Center to discuss their transformative and award-winning graphic novels, The March Trilogy, bringing Lewis’ memories of the civil rights movement to urgent new life as a catalyst for vital discussions about diversity, society, and active engagement in one's community, in ways that are not just historical, but directly relevant to today's world.
Some of John Lewis' statements of wisdom included: "Don't Hate," "Never Give Up!," "When you see injustice, Find a way to get in the way"and "Have faith in non-violent solutions to social issues."
The book group is being offered by Sarah Ibson, Barbara Kohn-Saxe, HU Librarian Genny Knight, and Jacki McCarty and will conclude with final project presentations on October 21. |
