One week to launch! Appalachia Comics has paired more than a dozen local survivors with renowned comic creators like @BRIANMBENDIS, @geneluenyang, Matt Fraction, and others to create 'Islands in the Sky' as a monument to the storm that changed everything.

An honor to talk with @DrTLovesBooks - who does so much for love of literacy! Episode goes live tonight. We talked about -
1. Representation in comics
2. A great lesson you can use with comics
3. Wonderful books such as the @MARCHTrilogy (and @GoodTroublePro ) and @Fanbase_Press Ripple Effects
4. How we are all teachers of reading and how to connect across the curriculum.

My article from a few years back in @DiaBookshelf on the power of the @MARCHTrilogy in my classroom.

Looks like someone finally read March Book Two

[BrigidAlverson - Same on BlueSky @BrigidAlverson]

As we mark the anniversary of the March on Washington and mourn the victims of the racist murderer in Jacksonville, it's a good time to return to @andrewaydin and @Nate_Powell_Art's March. It's both a detailed history of the Civil Rights movement and a manual for action.

In an interview with CBR, @andrewaydin reflects on the 10th anniversary of @MARCHTrilogy and his experiences working with Congressman John Lewis and @Nate_Powell_Art

10 yrs ago today, John Lewis became the first Member of Congress to ever attend @Comic_Con.

Some said it was risky, and if it went wrong it was going to be my fault. But the naysayers were wrong and we opened the floodgates.

I’ll never forget that panel. It felt like a revival

[Andrew Aydin @andrewaydin]

Ten years ago this week I was on the road with John Lewis and @Nate_Powell_Art for one of our first talks about MARCH and it’s importance for teaching our history… it worked, becoming taught throughout the country.

Now you have this.
It is not a coincidence.

[Andrew Aydin @andrewaydin]

Cool to see @tim_cook’s kind words for MARCH living on all over the world. https://t.co/rxpNevxvzu

[Tim Smyth @historycomics]

Yes! The @MARCHTrilogy is truly the most powerful teaching resource I have ever used. It’s not memorizing facts, dates, and names. It’s living history. It’s the human “story” of the civil rights movement that will forever stick with students and powerfully impact their lives. This makes me so happy.

[Andrew Aydin @andrewaydin]

Some (increasingly rare) good news on the education front:

MARCH has been added to the Jersey City school system’s curriculum!
