Description: "All John Lewis wanted was a library card, but in 1956, libraries were only for white people. That didn't seem fair to John, and so he spent a lifetime advocating for change and fighting against unfair laws until the laws changed. Finally, black people could eat at restaurants, see movies, vote in elections, and even get library cards."--Provided by publisher.

Review Quotes: "A captivating, bookish tribute to an unstoppable upstander that will empower the youngest activists." --Kirkus Reviews
