An ode to a soft spoken but profound seeker of truth and racial equality. Jon Meacham gives us the background and beginnings of this great man but also gives us a glimpse into one of this country's most volatile periods in history- the civil rights movement of the 60's. There were so many brave demonstrators seeking justice in an unjust world and these accounts along with photographs help us to understand and appreciate the sacrifice they made. It is difficult to comprehend the violence and hatred and balance that with the calm and peaceful ways that John Lewis, Dr. Martin Luther King and others preached and practiced. The afterward by John Lewis is beautiful and reminds us why he will be missed and to still have hope for the future. 4 stars
