Sojo Stories: March

It may have taken a little bit of prodding — a little 'you-want-me-to-do-what?' and a lot of faith — but in the end, Congressman John Lewis agreed to go along with staffer Andrew Aydin's out-of-the-box idea. The result: March (Book 1) — the first of a three-part graphic novel autobiography chronicling Lewis' life and the Civil Rights movement. Aydin, who co-wrote the book with Congressman Lewis, and illustrator Nate Powell sat down with Sojourners to explain how the series came about and why it is such an important story these 50 years later.
