Top Shelf ProductionsDate de publication (France) : 20 janvier 2015Langue d'origine : AnglaisRésumé : After the success of the Nashville sit-in movement, John Lewis’ commitment to change through nonviolence is stronger than ever — but as he and his fellow Freedom Riders board a bus into the vicious heart of the deep south, they are be tested like never before. Faced with beatings, police brutality, imprisonment, arson, and even murder, the movement’s young activists place their lives on the line while internal conflicts threaten to tear them apart.
But their courage attracts the notice of powerful allies, from Martin Luther King, Jr. to Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy. Once Lewis is elected chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, this 23-year-old is thrust into the national spotlight, becoming one of the “Big Six” leaders of the Civil Rights Movement and a central figure in the landmark 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.ISBN : 978-1603094009
