John Lewis also won the National Book Award last year

for his graphic novel, The March.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_(comics)

It's a trilogy about the march on Selma. The first graphic novel to win the award.

Obviosly, there is no amount of accomplishment that prevents a Repuke from attacking someone, or the the rest applauding or sitting silent.
