A Livestream Event: A Visit with Congressman John Lewis and Co-Author Andrew Aydin

PLEASE NOTE: this is a livestream of an event happening at the Flynn Center in Burlington, VT. 

Almost sixty years ago, Martin Luther King, Jr. edited a 16-page comic book about the Montgomery Bus Boycott that 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 his co-author Andrew Aydin will visit the Flynn Center to discuss their transformative and award-winning graphic novels, 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.
