John Lewis : American politician and civil rights icon

McAneney, Caitie (author.).

Summary: The civil rights movement of the 1960s brought John Lewis out of anonymity. As one of the "Big Six" leaders of the civil rights movement, he participated in the March on Washington as the youngest speaker of the event. Even after the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act were passed, Lewis continued to fight for civil rights. Readers will learn that today he represents Georgia in the House of Representatives and has advocated for healthcare reform, improvements to education, and reducing poverty. This biography shows that Lewis serves as a role model for young people throughout the country by fighting equal rights for all.
