Wow, the more I dive into these memoirs by John Lewis, the more I realize how little I know about the Civil Rights movement. The players. Just how much there was division even among those who wanted freedom and equal rights and desegregation.

John Lewis was quite the man. Truly his nonviolence stance makes me wonder how he would be with all of the current events/politics since 2009.......

Important story. Some of my students have had problems following it, especially the time shifts. This does open the door to more research and learning more about the entire Civil Rights movement.

It's so hard to find the words for this one. It takes a raw look at what the believers of nonviolent resistance did during the Civil Rights movement. How they trained, what was done to them. Their resolve and strength is unimaginable to me. If I did not know that this was history, that these folks were real, I wouldn't believe their acts to be possible. Regardless of whether you agree with their nonviolence stance or religious beliefs, you must respect their moral integrity and dedication. These are great people. Many of whom we do not even know the names of.

I really have no words to describe this book. I loved it, but it was a hard read. It made me angry, sad, and frustrated. That being said, this is a fantastic book and I would highly recommend reading it.
