Its a review about this product
Walking with the Wind: A Memoir of the Movement (Paperback) Wow! What a book! I could not put it down. At the time, I was a college student and actively took part in the Civil Rights Movement. I participated in the marches and picketing in Columbia, South Carolina. In fact, one day during my freshman year, while we were out picketing, our dormitory was set ablaze. An act which was never solved by local police. Walking with the Wind, by John Lewis, gave me a visual insight into the Civil Rights Movement of things that happened behind the scenes, things of which I knew nothing about.
As I continue to tell my children and grandchildren about my participation in the Movement, this book will help to paint a picture which everyone can visualize and understand. Mr. Lewis' description of his family, and growing up in rural Alabama is almost a mirrow-image of mine growing up in rural South Carolina. I couldn't believe the similarities.
Hopefully, one day I shall get a chance to Meet John Lewis. That would make my day!
