First you march, then you run. From the #1 bestselling,
award–winning team behind March comes the first book in their
new, groundbreaking graphic novel series, Run: Book One “Run
recounts the lost history of what too often follows dramatic
change—the pushback of those who refuse it and the resistance of
those who believe change has not gone far enough. John Lewis’s
story has always been a complicated narrative of bravery, loss, and
redemption, and Run gives vivid, energetic voice to a chapter of
transformation in his young, already extraordinary life.”
–Stacey Abrams “In sharing my story, it is my hope that a new
generation will be inspired by Run to actively participate in the
democratic process and help build a more perfect Union here in
America.” –Congressman John Lewis 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.
