MARCH FORWARD

In the 1940s, Superman fought the Klan, as the creators of the Superman radio show subjected the hate group to the scorn it deserved. But it took another hero to inspire a young John Lewis with a comic book: Dr. Martin Luther King, in 1957’s The Montgomery Story. Now Congressman Lewis has followed suit with March, a graphic-novel account of the birth of the civil rights movement. He and his co-
authors, Andrew Aydin and Nate Powell, will be appearing at the Brooklyn Public Library to discuss changing the world through activism and nonviolence. Kal-El, eat your heart out.
