Rep. John Lewis’ childhood aspiration was to be a preacher, and he practiced sermons in front of the chickens on his family farm in rural Alabama. Little did he know that he would soon lead the “freedom rides” fighting segregation in the south, give a keynote address at the March on Washington at age 23, and become a 17-term congressman. Rep. Lewis shares inspiring stories from that journey in this 2013 address delivered on Constitution Day here at the National Constitution Center, which we’re sharing in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Rep. Lewis discussed his graphic novel March: Book One which spans his youth in rural Alabama, his life-changing meeting with Martin Luther King, Jr., the birth of the Nashville Student Movement, and the battle to tear down segregation through nonviolent lunch counter sit-ins. He was joined by his co-author Andrew Aydin and NCC President Jeffrey Rosen. Questions or comments? Email us at podcast@constitutioncenter.org.

Meredith is on vacation, so Kaytee has a special guest co-host join her for this week’s episode. She is so excited to share her conversation with Jessica Turner! You’ll hear a “bookish moment of the week” from each of us: one that only a family of two authors will ever experience and a new discovery at the library that made for a quiet weekend at home. We dive in to discussing 2 books each. One of which we both cannot stop talking about. Next, we get to discuss Jessica’s new book, Stretched Too Thin, as well as her previous work, The Fringe Hours. Both are books you need on your shelves! Who wants to win a copy of STT? I’ll be giving away a copy on Instagram this week, so pop on over there to enter! We finish up with A Book (yep, capitalized) that we’d like to put into every reader’s hands. Jessica does a great job pushing BOTH of our books into your hands this week, as I promise you’ll want to pick up each of them for totally different reasons.

Join the gang as they discuss story of the early days of the Civil Rights movement and the childhood of Congressman John Lewis; the peril that John Lewis and other participants of Civil Rights movement faced as they crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge on Bloody Sunday; how Mr. Lewis had an innate drive to protect innocence and for justice when he was a child, especially for his chickens; the dangers faced while traveling North with his uncle through the Jim Crow states and the culture shock of being a big city for the first time; the friction that the younger Civil Rights leaders felt with the older leaders; the tragedy of Emmett Till and the effect it had on a teenage Lewis; the dangers of going to a desegregated college; the strategies employed by the Civil Rights leaders to move ever closer to social justice; the parallels of governmental leaders in the Jim Crow South and President Trump; and the gangs' opinions on the storying telling and the art of March: Book One.*Disclaimer* This episode discussing March: Book One was recorded in late 2017, when the #MeToo Movement first started picking up on social and traditional media, so some of the topics discussed in this episode were new at the time this was recorded.--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/graphicnovelexplorersclub/message See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Greg recently came across this unaired 2013 interview with "March" co-writer Andrew Aydin, recorded at that year's Small Press Expo, and decided with the recent release of not only the third and final volume of the trilogy in August, but also the complete trilogy slipcase last month, this was still timely and too much fun of a talk to leave in the RFT vaults deep in the center of the earth. So while Aydin, artist Nate Powell, and co-writer/subject Congressman John Lewis make one last trip around the talk show/media circuit in promotion and praise for their award-winning efforts, sit back and listen to Greg chatting with the first-time comics author at the very start of that journey.

Congressman John R. Lewis (D-GA), civil rights leader, and co-author of the bestselling graphic memoir March: Book One, is the recipient of numerous awards including the United States' highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. His new graphic memoir trilogy, March, is a vivid first-hand account of Lewis' lifelong struggle for civil and human rights, meditating in the modern age on the distance traveled since the days of Jim Crow and segregation. Recorded live for the McCloskey Speaker Series.

Derek is back at Collected Comics and Games in Plano, TX, and this month he and the customers are discussing ethnoracial issues as they relate to comics. Since this is Black History Month, the guys thought that they'd take the opportunity to look at a few African American comics (however you choose to define that term) and how race  and diversity has become part of the comics' historical tapestry. They mention a variety of specific titles -- Craig came prepared with his copies of The Harlem Hellfighters, March: Book One, and the collection Strange Fruit -- several key creators, such as Kyle Baker and Ho Che Anderson, and the attempts (at times pathetic) of mainstream publishers to diversify their titles' rosters. Derek and the guys also spend a good deal of time talking about broader ethnic issues in comics, including stereotyping, the responsibilities of representation, and author subject position. The result is an all-too-brief, tip-of-the-iceberg effort to address one of the medium's most complicated (and complicating) features, but it's a conversation well worth having.
