When a Sharecropper's Son Changed History
A boy preached sermons to chickens on an Alabama farm, conducting funerals for the ones that died and attempting baptisms in creek water. His family thought it peculiar, but young John Lewis was practicing for something far greater than anyone could imagine. That same boy would grow up to have his skull fractured on a bridge in Selma, stand beside Martin Luther King Jr. at the March on Washington, and serve in Congress for over three decades. Yet what made Lewis extraordinary wasn't just his courage or his achievements-it was his unshakeable belief that love could defeat hate, that suffering could redeem, and that ordinary people could bend the arc of history toward justice. In an age of cynicism and division, Lewis's life poses an urgent question: Can faith-inspired nonviolence still transform a broken nation? The answer lies not in distant theory but in understanding how one man's commitment to what he called "good trouble" reshaped American democracy.
