Description

Marcia Franklin talks with Rep. John Lewis (D-GA), the last of the so-called "Big Six" leaders of the African-American civil rights movement. Lewis, who spoke at the 2014 Sun Valley Writers' Conference, talks about some of the major civil rights events in which he participated, his passion for the movement, and what he sees as the current challenges to his and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream of a 'beloved community.' Franklin and Lewis also discuss a trilogy of graphic novels called March that he and a staffer, Andrew Aydin, are writing. The series illustrates the congressman's life in the civil rights movement. The first book hit #1 on the New York Times Best Sellers List. In an Extra available at video.idahoptv.org, Franklin also interviews Aydin.
