FACEBOOK LIVE BLACK EXCELLENCE BOOK CLUB - RUN (WE'VE GOT SIGNED COPIES!)
We had the lovely surprise of comics creator Andrew Aydin stopping by to sign copies of Run, Truth & Justice and March! Perfect timing as our black excellence book club for this month with Pop Culture Uncovered is on Run by Andrew Aydin, the late John Lewis and Nate Powell!
To John Lewis, the civil rights movement came to an end with the signing of the Voting Rights Act in 1965. But that was after more than five years as one of the preeminent figures of the movement, leading sit-in protests and fighting segregation on interstate busways as an original Freedom Rider. It was after becoming chairman of SNCC (the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee) and being the youngest speaker at the March on Washington. It was after helping organize the Mississippi Freedom Summer and the ensuing delegate challenge at the 1964 Democratic National Convention. And after coleading the march from Selma to Montgomery on what became known as 'Bloody Sunday.'
All too often, the depiction of history ends with a great victory. But John Lewis knew that victories are just the beginning. In Run Book One, John Lewis and longtime collaborator Andrew Aydin reteam with Nate Powell-the award-winning illustrator of the March trilogy-and are joined by L. Fury-making an astonishing graphic novel debut-to tell this often overlooked chapter of civil rights history.
