Description
From sit-ins at lunch counters to sit-ins on the Congress floor, marching in Selma to marching though the halls of the Capitol, John Lewis fought for what he believed in. The incredible civil rights activist had plenty of experience under his belt by the time he stood in front of a quarter of a million people as the youngest leader of the March on Washington. John continued on with the same passion as he turned to create change from within the government. The "Conscious of the Congress" continued to advocate for the freedom and safety of all. Learn all about the incredible life of this congressman and civil rights hero. --,Adapted from publisher's description.
