As an activist and progressive congressman, he was renowned for his unshakable integrity, indomitable courage, and determination to get into "good trouble." In this first book-length biography of Lewis, Raymond Arsenault traces Lewis's upbringing in rural Alabama, his activism as a Freedom Rider and leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, his championing of voting rights and anti-poverty initiatives, and his decades of service as the "conscience of Congress."... Arsenault recounts Lewis's lifetime of work toward one overarching goal: realizing the "beloved community," an ideal society based in equity and inclusion. Lewis never wavered in this pursuit, and even in death his influence endures, inspiring mobilization and resistance in the fight for social justice."-- Front dust jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Adult New Books 328.73092 Lewis Ar Transit Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Biography B Lewis Ar Transit Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 328.73092 Lewis Ar Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Biography B Lewis Ar Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Biography 328.73092 Lewis Ar Checked In Add Copy to MyList
