Short collection of deposition testimony re the Selma marches and three interviews. Definitely worth reading. Found these parts especially notable: After multiple attempts by an attorney to steer Lewis into testifying that a crowd of protesters appeared hostile, Lewis replies, "Well, on occasion I have seen law enforcement people who would stand like they are going to protect people, and they look quite peaceful, peaceable; but at the same time these people have beaten and brutalized people." Ho...
John Lewis: The Last Interview and Other Conversations Melville House 2021Thank you, Net Galley and Melville House, for providing me with this uncorrected proof for review. I have longed to know more about this remarkable man since seeing one of the MNSBC anecdotes about ‘who they are’ including commentary on John Lewis and his reference to ‘good trouble’. The footage includes reference to the march in Selma, Alabama when John Lewis, accompanied by black and white activists attempted to cross th...
I love to read (and do) interviews. In this series of interviews John Lewis' compassion and courage shine through.
How sadly ironic that this book releases the day after Georgia was gerrymandered to make the election of Blacks, women, and other underrepresented groups nearly impossible. It underscores the fact that the work of activists like John Lewis is never done.This collection of interviews show the trajectory of John Lewis’s career, from a Civil Rights activist in college, to a long-term Congressman for Atlanta, still fighting for voting rights until his death.This brief, quick read gives background fo...
4 interviews throughout John Lewis’s life
This book contains four interviews with John Lewis spanning 55 years (1965-2020) from the time he was a civil rights activist to his last interview when he was a U.S. Representative serving Georgia's 5th Congressional district. The first interview in 1965 (Williams v. Wallace) was actually a deposition. Lewis was a plaintiff in the case. This interview is a good example of a primary source about the Selma March which according to Lewis was about voting rights and police brutality, that second ob...
I read /John Lewis: The Last Interview and Other Conversations/:https://www.ddgbooks.com/book/9781612...Though we have so far to go, I was amazed to learn (re-learn) that as recently as the 1960s, police regularly beat non-violent protesters, especially African-Americans. That gave me perspective.
John Lewis is someone I've taken a great interest in as far as his interviews and discussions about the Civil Rights Movement. He was an incredible speaker and clearly knew what his goals were in life for himself and others in the movement. I enjoyed this collection of interviews over Lewis's lifetime... they gave me an inside look into how things have progressed or stalled and how Lewis was handling things within our current time. I think the layout of the book was perfect fo the goal they were...
