Fighting with Love: The Legacy of John Lewis<\/em>
\nby Lesa Cline-Ransome (Author) and James E. Ransome (Illustrator)
\n@ Amazon<\/a>* | Bookshop<\/a>*<\/em><\/p>\n

Booktalk:<\/strong> John Lewis left a cotton farm in Alabama to join the fight for civil rights when he was only a teenager. He soon became a leader of a movement that changed the nation. Walking at the side of his mentor, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Lewis was led by his belief in peaceful action and voting rights. Today and always his work and legacy live on.<\/p>\n

Snippet:<\/strong> “Working for nothing,” is what John grumbled to his parents as he dragged his cotton sack behind him.<\/p>\n

“God’s gonna take care of his children,” his momma told him, and kept on, picking all day, praying all night. <\/p>\n
