*Run: Book One* is a companion graphic memoir to the award-winning trilogy
*March*, conceived by civil rights icon *John Lewis* and longtime
collaborator *Andrew Aydin* and illustrated by *Nate Powell* and *L.
Fury*. *Run
*continues where *March *left off to tell an often-overlooked chapter of
civil rights history.

Prior to his passing, *John Lewis* stated, “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.” *Run *picks up after the 1965 march in Selma. Lewis and
colleagues are facing arrest and the Ku Klux Klan is planning one of their
largest rallies yet. Soon after the passage of the Voting Rights Act, the
six-day Watts Rebellion breaks out in Los Angeles. Lewis shares his
experiences as chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee,
its tensions with the NAACP and Urban League, controversial stances. Lewis
shines a light on the unsung heroes who undertook the sometimes-deadly work
of Black voter registration and other grassroots social justice efforts.
The connection between these events and current racial tensions and protest
movements provides a platform for discussion of the work that still needs
to be completed.

*Andrew Aydin* is a bestselling and award-winning writer. He was the
Digital Director and Policy Advisor and longtime collaborator to the late
Georgia congressman *John Lewis* as well as the creator and co-author of
* March*. He splits his time between Washington, D.C., and Hendersonville,
NC.

*Nate Powell* is a New York Times bestselling, award-winning graphic
novelist; his work includes the *March *trilogy, Rick Riordan’s *The Lost
Hero*, and *Save It for Later*. Powell is the first and only cartoonist
ever to win the National Book Award. Powell lives in Bloomington, Indiana.

*L. Fury* is a lifelong resident of Houston, Texas with a BFA in animation
from Sam Houston State University. She dove into comics full time in 2015
with the humor webcomic Bastard Comics before shifting her sights to
long-form comics, illustrating the unreleased* Double Barrel Shogun*.* Run * is
Fury’s first graphic novel.

*Ages 12 to adult *
