520    "John Lewis, who at age twenty-five marched in Selma and 
       was beaten on the Edmund Pettus Bridge, is a visionary and
       a man of faith. Using intimate interviews with Lewis and 
       his family and deep research into the history of the civil
       rights movement, Meacham writes of how the activist and 
       leader was inspired by the Bible, his mother's unbreakable
       spirit, his sharecropper father's tireless ambition, and 
       his teachers in nonviolence, Reverend James Lawson and 
       Martin Luther King, Jr. A believer in hope above all else,
       Lewis learned from a young age that nonviolence was not 
       only a tactic but a philosophy, a biblical imperative, and
       a transforming reality. At the age of four, Lewis, 
       ambitious to become a preacher, practiced by preaching to 
       the chickens he took care of. When his mother cooked one 
       of the chickens, the boy refused to eat it--his first act 
       of non-violent protest. Integral to Lewis's commitment to 
       bettering the nation was his faith in humanity and in God,
       and an unshakable belief in the power of hope. Meacham 
       calls Lewis "as important to the founding of a modern and 
       multiethnic twentieth- and twenty-first century America as
       Thomas Jefferson and James Madison and Samuel Adams were 
       to the initial creation of the nation-state in the 
       eighteenth century. He did what he did--risking limb and 
       life to bear witness for the powerless in the face of the 
       powerful--not in spite of America, but because of America,
       and not in spite of religion, .but because of religion"
