An intimate and clear portrait of civil rights icon and longtime U.S. congressman John Lewis, linking his life with the painful search for justice in the United States from the 1950s to the present.
John Lewis, who at the age of 25 marched in Selma, Alabama, and was defeated on the Edmund Pettus Bridge, was a visionary and a man of faith. Jon Meacham writes about how this great-grandson of a slave and son of an Alabama tenant farmer was inspired by the Bible and his teacher of nonviolence, Reverend James Lawson and Martin Luther King, to put their lives in the service of what Abraham Lincoln called “the better angels in our nature.” As a child, Lewis learned that nonviolence is not just a tactic but a philosophy, a biblical imperative, and a transforming reality.
At the age of 4, Lewis, with ambitions to become a pastor, practiced by preaching to his family’s chickens. When his mother cooked one of the chickens, the boy refused to eat it – he recalls his first act of protesting nonviolently. An integral part of Lewis’ commitment to the betterment of his country is his faith in humanity and in God – and his unshakable faith in the power of hope.
Meacham called Lewis “as important to the founding of a modern and multi-ethnic 20th-century America as Thomas Jefferson and James Madison and Samuel Adams were to the early founding of the Republic itself in the 20th century.” 18th century.
Lewis is said to be a saint in our time, risking his limbs and life to testify to the powerless against the strong. He brought a still-developing nation closer to realizing his ideals, and his story provides inspiration and enlightenment to Americans today striving for change. social and political.
