Well, I started in his office, answering his mail. Tell us the story behind it and what it was like to work with him after working for him.ĪYDIN: Yeah. SHAPIRO: You were working in Congressman Lewis' office when the "March" trilogy came about. He convinced me that we should do it to make the story available to another generation, to children, to young people and to those of us not so young.ĪNDREW AYDIN: Hi, Ari. Here's John Lewis talking about the initial spark of the idea in September of 2013. Lewis released a trilogy of graphic novel memoirs called "March." Andrew Aydin co-wrote those books. And as of 2013, he was a comic book hero. He was a civil rights icon, a defender of the Voting Rights Act, a mentor, father and husband, the moral compass of Congress. When Congressman John Lewis died on Friday, he left behind a tremendous legacy.
