We also translated a forgotten 1958 comic book about Martin Luther King's Montgomery Bus Boycott into Arabic
When, at first, we went to print the comic book, a security officer blocked publication. So we called him and demanded a meeting. He agreed, and we read through the comic book over coffee to address his concerns.
At the end, he granted permission to print and then asked: "Could I have a few extra copies for my kids?" The comic book has been credited with inspiring young activists in Egypt and the larger region (we have a Farsi version as well). Last week I distributed copies in Tahrir Square. Seeing the scene in the square firsthand is amazing.
