John Lewis was not just a civil rights icon; he was the moral heartbeat of America’s long and arduous struggle for equality. In this powerful biography, William Vida captures the extraordinary journey of a man who went from humble beginnings in rural Alabama to the front lines of the Civil Rights Movement, and ultimately to the halls of Congress, where he became a symbol of integrity and justice.

As a Freedom Rider, Lewis risked his life to challenge segregation in the South. As the leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), he helped shape one of the most influential civil rights organizations in history. Perhaps best remembered for his courage on "Bloody Sunday" in Selma, where he nearly lost his life, Lewis’s activism extended far beyond the marches and protests. His legacy as a congressman spanned over three decades, during which he became known as "the conscience of Congress," advocating for voting rights, racial justice, and equality for all Americans.

John Lewis: The Conscience of a Nation is a compelling portrait of one of America’s greatest heroes, whose courage and sacrifice helped to bend the arc of history toward justice. This audiobook is a call to action, a reminder that the fight for equality is far from over—and that each of us has the power to make a difference.
