A Virtual Teach-In about the acclaimed graphic memoir of the Civil Rights movement!

Join Comics@CSUN to discuss the March trilogy, a comics memoir by the late Congressman and iconic Civil Rights activist John Lewis, in collaboration with Andrew Aydin and Nate Powell. This account of the Civil Rights movement is one of the most talked-about comics of our time. How does this story of "the past" speak to us about the urgent American moment we find ourselves in right now, and about the future?

Join a dialogue with guest scholars Jorge J. Santos, Jr. (Graphic Memories of the Civil Rights Movement) and Qiana Whitted (EC Comics: Race, Shock, and Social Protest), as well as CSUN professors Frances Gateward, Tomo Hattori, Krystal Howard, and Charles Hatfield—and many of our students!
