Graphic essay: What the Civil Rights Movement can teach us about surviving Trump

[additional-authors]
January 15, 2017


The election felt like an apocalyptic nightmare. Yet writer and illustrator Chris Noxon, a member of my synagogue community, managed to find some powerful inspiration on a recent trip and write it as a graphic essay.

Chris' work is particularly well done and powerful. Given the most recent slander yesterday of one of America's great heroes, Congressman John Lewis, by President-Elect Trump, it takes on even greater significance given what I fear we're about to experience in Trump's presidency, however long it lasts.

Scroll through it and be inspired on this weekend commemorating the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
