Book Synopsis :

The award-winning national bestseller, Walking with the Wind, is one of our most important records of the American civil rights movement. Told by John Lewis, who Cornel West calls a ?national treasure,? this is a gripping first-hand account of the fight for civil rights and the courage it takes to change a nation.In 1957, a teenaged boy named John Lewis left a cotton farm in Alabama for Nashville, the epicenter of the struggle for civil rights in America. Lewis? adherence to nonviolence guided that critical time and established him as one of the movement?s most charismatic and courageous leaders. Lewis?s leadership in the Nashville Movement?a student-led effort to desegregate the city of Nashville using sit-in techniques based on the teachings of Gandhi?set the tone for major civil rights campaigns of the 1960s. Lewis traces his role in the pivotal Selma marches, Bloody Sunday, and the Freedom Rides. Inspired by his mentor, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Lewis? vision and perseverance
