Unabridged Audiobook
I felt ashamed and bewildered listening to the details laid out in this book. Many times I had to pause, with my hand over my mouth, and fight back tears. I also learned a great deal about strength, forgiveness and leadership from this book. I am so thankful that Jon has written it and I hope to read more of his works. I value how Jon wanted everything to be accurate, gave proper credit where due, and put together a phenomenal book. Well done.
I lived through the years when John Lewis was heroically blazing the trail for the civil rights of American Black citizens. I was born in 1950, ten years after John, I am now ashamed of my apathy at the time. The book was at times very difficult to hear, because of the blatant cruelty and injustice that it documents. I am inspired by his courage, and that of those who follow him. May we, as a Nation, in spite of the setbacks of the last four years, continue to evolve in the direction of the justice and humanity exemplified by John Lewis.
Excellent book in these turbulent times. Well read by a great author.
