Civil Rights icon leads march at Comic Con
Civil Rights icon Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) led a march of nearly 1,000 people through the San Diego Convention Center during Comic Con on Saturday.
Lewis led the march after hosting a panel discussion on his trilogy of graphic novels "March," The Associated Press reported.
Members of the march chanted "no justice, no peace" as they made their way through the convention.
Lewis’s illustrated novels weave his youth as the son of Alabama sharecroppers into his eventual role in the sit-in movements of 1960 and the Selma- to-Montgomery Marches of 1965.
The first installment of Lewis's trilogy was published in 2013. The third volume received Comic-Con's Eisner Award on Friday for best reality-based work.
