by Tahira
John Lewis’s parents warned him to "stay quiet, don’t get in trouble and don’t get in the way." John Lewis did not heed his parents' warning. He felt that segregation was wrong. When he heard Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. give a speech on the radio against segregation he knew he was right. This sparked a desire in him to fight segregation and earn black people the right to vote. Jim Haskins leads young readers on a journey for civil rights through the life of John Lewis.
