Summary

"Even as a little boy, John Lewis liked making things better, and there was a lot that needed to be better in his segregated community. Inspired by leaders such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks, John Lewis soon dedicated himself to the fight for civil rights. He persevered in the face of racism, leading sit-ins and marches and organizing Freedom Rides, gaining more and more attention for his nonviolent protests. He spent his entire adult life working to improve things for Americans, including more than forty years as a U.S. congressperson." --Book jacket
