Summary of Across That Bridge: A Vision for Change and the Future of America

"In 'Across That Bridge: A Vision for Change and the Future of America,' Congressman John Lewis, a titan of the Civil Rights Movement and a companion of Martin Luther King, Jr., shares the indomitable spirit and lessons gleaned from the front lines of social justice. Published on May 15, 2012, and honored with the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work/Biography, this powerful narrative not only traces the historic contours of battles for racial justice and voting rights but also connects these pivotal moments with today's resurgence in activism. Through his personal saga—enduring over forty arrests and severe injuries—Lewis champions the philosophy of nonviolence and the crucial role every generation plays in the fight for a fair society. This book is an essential read for those in adult education settings, providing both a historical framework and a call to action for current and future advocates for change."
