I remember when Nelson Mandela passed. I spent the earlier part of that same year in South Africa, and felt a strong sense of gratitude that our time on Earth overlapped.
I’m feeling that way again about John Lewis.
Saddened by the loss of the Congressman and Civil Rights giant. He’s an example to me of what conviction looks like. I know I live in a better world because of his boldness, and I’m thankful for the torch he’s passed.
Spent some time drawing one of his most famous quotes- and a personal favorite.
Want to do a deeper dive into Lewis’ legacy?
🖥 The @johnlewisdoc Good Trouble just released digitally. I believe it’s on Prime and can be rented via AppleTV, YouTube, Google Play or PlayStation.
📚 The book trilogy March (volumes 1-3) is essentially his autobiography in graphic novel form. It’s impressively illustrated for sure.
📺 There are a lot of great interviews of his on YouTube but I would recommend his CBS This Morning message to protestors, recorded on June 4 of this year. It’s one of the last interviews he ever gave at an appropriately important time in our history.
