Fighting with Love: The Legacy of John Lewis

Fighting with Love traces John Lewis from childhood through the experiences and influences that shaped his commitment to activism and justice. It follows his work alongside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his belief in nonviolent action and voting rights. The narrative builds toward 1965, when Lewis and other voting-rights marchers stepped onto the Edmund Pettis Bridge and confronted police. An author’s note, timeline, and source notes extend the account.
