520 _aWalking with the Wind is the powerful memoir of John Lewis, a key figure in the American Civil Rights Movement and longtime U.S. Congressman. The book chronicles his life from growing up as the son of Alabama sharecroppers to becoming a national leader in the struggle for racial equality. Lewis recounts pivotal moments of the movement, including: The Nashville sit-ins Freedom Rides The March on Washington "Bloody Sunday" in Selma His leadership in the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) And his later work as a member of Congress The memoir offers a unique, insider’s view of the Civil Rights Movement, told with honesty, moral clarity, and personal reflection. It also delves into the philosophy of nonviolence and the spiritual conviction that fueled Lewis’s activism. The title metaphor—“walking with the wind”—comes from a childhood story where Lewis helped hold down a house in a windstorm by leaning into the wind, a symbol of standing firm in the face of adversity.
