I need that every now and then. I will never be John Lewis, but I am glad people like him exist. ( ) This is a very inspiring book. If you are at all interested in why the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960's worked, and how you can leverage the lessons learned there to make your own activism work, this is really a book you need to read. For myself, I appreciated it as much for the history lesson as the inspiration. There was so much that was glossed over in school, and it was really great to get an insider's view of what was going on during that time. I was astounded by John Lewis’ patience, faith, and perseverance despite every hurdle you can imagine. My favorite parts were when he shared about his personal experiences. Much of what he said was general advice, but his memories of walking the bridge, interacting with a man who had beaten him and later apologized, hearing King’s speeches for the first time, were the most powerful for me. “It is only through examining history that you become aware of where you stand within the continuum of change.” “The human heart is the most important frontier to conquer in the struggle for human dignity.” aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Winner of the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work/Biography. In Across That Bridge, Congressman John Lewis draws from his experience as a prominent leader of the Civil Rights Movement to offer timeless wisdom, poignant recollections, and powerful principles for anyone interested in challenging injustices and inspiring real change toward a freer, more peaceful society. The Civil Rights Movement gave rise to the protest culture we know today, and the experiences of leaders like Congressman Lewis, a close confidant to Martin Luther King, Jr., have never been more relevant. Despite more than forty arrests, physical attacks, and serious injuries, John Lewis has remained a devoted advocate of the discipline and philosophy of nonviolence. Now, in an era in which the protest culture he helped forge has resurfaced as a force for change, Lewis' insights have never been more relevant. In this heartfelt book, Lewis explores the contributions that each generation must make to achieve change. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
