About this audiobook
John Lewis, the esteemed civil rights leader and U.S. Congressman, dedicated his life to fighting for equality, justice, and human rights. Born in 1940 in Troy, Alabama, Lewis became a key figure in the Civil Rights Movement alongside Martin Luther King Jr. This biography chronicles his leadership in pivotal events such as the Freedom Rides, the March on Washington, and the Selma to Montgomery marches, where he suffered brutal beatings yet remained committed to nonviolent protest. Elected to Congress in 1986, Lewis served Georgia's 5th district for over three decades, advocating for social justice, voting rights, and healthcare reform. His philosophy of "good trouble" inspired generations to stand up against injustice. This book explores his unwavering courage, moral integrity, and profound legacy as a champion of civil rights who worked tirelessly to build a more equitable society.
