Rooted in Lewis' personal story, it also reflects on the highs and lows of the broader civil rights movement. Book One spans Lewis' youth in rural Alabama, his life-changing meeting with Martin Luther King, Jr., the birth of the Nashville Student Movement, and their battle to tear down segregation through nonviolent lunch counter sit-ins, building to a climax on the steps of City Hall. His commitment to justice and nonviolence has taken him from an Alabama sharecropper's farm to the halls of Congress, from a segregated schoolroom to the 1963 March on Washington D.C., and from receiving beatings from state troopers, to receiving the Medal of Freedom awarded to him by Barack Obama, the first African-American president UR - http://www.mackin.com/BookPics/Book.aspx?isbn=9781603093002 UR - http://johnlewis.house.gov/ UR - http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/eyewitness/html.php?section=2 UR - http://www.achievement.org/autodoc/page/lew0bio-1 UR - http://www.thekingcenter.org/ UR - http://www.biography.com/people/martin-luther-king-jr-9365086#early-years UR - http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/1964/king-bio.html UR - http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/mlkihaveadream.htm ER -
