In this special memorial episode to the late Representative John Lewis, we're replaying two interviews between host Calvin Reid and Andrew Aydin, co-author of Lewis's acclaimed graphic memoir, 'March'. In our first interview, recorded back in 2013, about 'March' and the historical impact of the 1957 comic Martin Luther King Jr. and the Montgomery Story, nonviolent disobedience; and a second, recorded in 2016 at Awesome Con, about finishing the third and final volume of the series.

Fantom Comics newsletter excerpts
- FREE COMIC BOOK SUMMER CONTINUES THIS SATURDAY, JULY 25TH AT FANTOM:
FCBDay was cancelled, but we have FCBSummer to help us get through this strange time!

Hurston challenged the norms of what was expected of an African American woman in early 20th century society. The fifth of eight kids from a Baptist family in Alabama, Hurston's writing prowess blossomed at Howard University, and then Barnard College, where she was the sole black student. She arrived in NYC at the height of the Harlem Renaissance and quickly found herself surrounded by peers such as Langston Hughes and Wallace Thurman.
