Preaching to the Chickens: the story of the young John Lewis, written by Jabari Asim, illustrated by E.B. Lewis
Enjoy this amazing “origin story” about the extraordinary civil rights leader and longtime Congressman John Lewis. Preaching to the Chickens, combines the rural tenderness and toughness of growing up on a farm, planting and harvesting cotton and taking care of the chickens; the spiritual roots of non-violence in the Christian church; and the coming together of nascent, burgeoning political tools like oratory, deliberative rhetoric, self-comportment, and active, engaged compassion.
