John Robert Lewis is a United States Representative from the state of Georgia. He has served in the House of Representatives since 1987. Lewis has dedicated his life to public service and to advocating for Civil Rights. In fact, he is the last surviving member of the Big Six leaders of the American Civil Rights movement in the 1960s. 
Now Lewis hopes to reach a new generation of Civil Rights Activists with his own comic book memoir entitled “March: Book Two.” The comic tells the story of Lewis’s life as part of the historic movement and how he became part of the March on Washington, where Lewis was one of ten speakers invited to address the huge crowd that gathered at the Washington Monument. 
Today, Congressman Lewis could not be happier about his new comic book memoir. “It is my hope,” he says, “…that more and more of the young people engaging in non-violent protests would take a lesson from “March” and use the way of nonviolence.”
