Forty years ago, a teenaged boy stepped off a cotton farm in Alabama and into the epicenter of the struggle for civil rights in America, where he has remained to this day, committed still to the nonviolent ideals of his mentor Martin Luther King and the movement they both served. of photos.

After the success of the Nashville sit-in campaign, John Lewis is more committed than ever to changing the world through nonviolence - but as he and his fellow Freedom Riders board a bus into the vicious heart of the deep south, they will be tested like never before

Congressman John Lewis (GA-5) is an iconic figure in the civil rights movement, known for his unwavering commitment to justice and nonviolence. His journey spans from an Alabama sharecropper's farm to the halls of Congress, marked by significant events like the 1963 March on Washington and his receipt of the Medal of Freedom from the first African-American president. To share his extraordinary story with future generations, Lewis has created a graphic novel trilogy in collaboration with co-writer Andrew Aydin and acclaimed artist Nate Powell. This trilogy serves as a vivid first-hand account of Lewis' lifelong fight for civil and human rights, reflecting on the progress made since the era of Jim Crow and segregation. The first volume covers Lewis' youth in rural Alabama, his pivotal meeting with Martin Luther King, Jr., the emergence of the Nashville Student Movement, and their nonviolent efforts to dismantle segregation through lunch counter sit-ins, culminating in a powerful moment at City Hall. Inspired by the 1958 comic "Martin Luther King and the Montgomery Story," Lewis' own comics bring this vital history to life for a new audience, ensuring that the echoes of the movement resonate for generations to come.

Told in multiple parts, Run is the next chapter of civil rights history after the March saga, bringing to life the true story of John Lewis and many of his colleagues in the movement after the historic success of the Selma campaign. Days after the Voting Rights Act is signed into law, the Ku Klux Klan mounts its largest hooded protest march in years. Events such as this are a dangerous reminder of the external forces in our society assembling to undo the hard-won protections at the ballot box--forces who have studied the tactics of the movement and are now prepared to weaponize them. Powerfully necessary in these times, Run: Book One is the story of John Lewis's struggle to lead the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), one of history's most important nonviolent organizations, as it loses the support of much of the federal government and many of its most important allies. How can SNCC--an organization built on consensus, integration, and nonviolence--survive in the face of powerful disagreements over black political power, white inclusion, the war in Vietnam, and the role of nonviolent civil disobedience in the movement? Run is the story of loss, and in the ashes of John Lewis's role in the civil rights movement, he finds his future in public service.

Eulen haben etwas Besonderes an sich. Ihre Spuren finden sich in vielen Kulturen seit der Steinzeit. Als Geschöpfe der Nacht stehen sie für Magie, aber auch für Unheil. Sie waren in den Augen der Menschen Boten der »anderen Seite«. Aber Eulen – mit ihren flachen, intelligenten Gesichtern, ihren großen, runden Augen, ihrem väterlichen Blick – sind uns auch sympathisch und vertraut. Wir halten sie für weise, wie die Eule der Athene, und treu, wie Hedwig aus ›Harry Potter‹. Mit anderen Worten: Sie erscheinen uns menschenähnlich. Vielleicht zieht uns deshalb kaum eine andere Tierart so in ihren Bann. »Einfach faszinierend und poetisch! Kein Wort zu viel – und keines zu wenig!« MINT ZIRKEL

Der englische Farmer John Lewis-Stempel erzählt die Geschichte einer Wiese in Herefordshire, die Menschen seit Jahrhunderten bewirtschaften. Der Historiker, Schriftsteller und Farmer beobachtet dieses Land, er hält fest, wie es sich über das Jahr hinweg verändert, was darauf und wer davon lebt. Denn es ist ebenso sein Land wie das des Dachses, des Habichts oder auch der vielen Gräser. Der Autor taucht ein in das Entstehen und Vergehen der Flora und Fauna im Verlauf der vier Jahreszeiten. Doch der in England hochgelobte Naturschriftsteller John Lewis-Stempel beobachtet nicht nur die Landschaft, er erforscht auch die Historie dieses Fleckchens Erde. Er weiß, wie die Menschen hier vor fünfhundert Jahren gelebt haben, ja sogar, wer die Hecke pflanzte und warum. Und er ist sich auch seiner literarischen Ahnen stets bewusst, er zitiert Dichter wie Walther von der Vogelweide oder William Wordsworth ebenso wie alte Sprichwörter und Bauernweisheiten. In einfacher, poetischer und höchst ausdrucksstarker Sprache berührt er den Leser und entführt ihn in den überraschend spannenden Mikrokosmos eines Feldes. »John Lewis-Stempel [schreibt] keine Fiktion, aber makellose Prosa. Guter Mann .[…] Gute Bücher für jeden.« Mark Knopfler

Le rêve américain n'est pas une chimère : au cours des cinquante dernières années, il s'est affranchi des chaînes de la discrimination sur les sentiers et les routes d'Alabama, aux côtés de Martin Luther King. Il a prospéré avec l'émancipation des femmes, résisté à l'arbitraire avec les révélations sur les écoutes du FBI et le scandale du Watergate, exploré de nouveaux espaces, repoussé ses limites avec l'avènement d'Internet et un foudroyant progrès technologique. Mais il a aussi vacillé et trébuché à de nombreuses reprises. Egaré avec la bipolarisation grandissante de la vie politique, malmené par la réaction social-conservatrice à l'encontre des causes afro-américaine, féministe et homosexuelle, ébranlé par la menace terroriste, dénaturé par la pratique de la torture et des écoutes massives dans le sillage des attentats du 11 septembre 2001, embourbé dans les lointains sables d'Irak, presque éradiqué avec le déclin de la classe moyenne et la crise économique dévastatrice de 2008, et à nouveau contesté par les émeutes raciales de Ferguson ou Baltimore. Rossé et ringardisé pour son obsolescence supposée, il a toujours fini par reparaître, porté par une société multiraciale et bouillonnante, en perpétuelle transformation. Indémodable et inoxydable, comme l'extraordinaire vitalité du peuple des Etats-Unis, cette cité-monde à laquelle continuent de rêver les migrants de tous horizons.
