From the Nashville sit-ins to Bloody Sunday, from the Freedom Riders to the March on Washington, John Lewis was a witness to, and an important participant in, the shaping events of the early Civil Rights Movement. In his New York Times bestseller, His Truth is Marching On: John Lewis and the Power of Hope, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jon Meacham focuses on Lewis’s role in the pivotal events of 1957-1968, while also tracing Lewis’s path from a sharecropper’s cabin to the halls of Congress.
Dauphin Way’s Racial Justice and Reconciliation committee is pleased to host John Lewis and the Power of Hope: A Conversation, on Sunday, August 25 at 4:00 p.m. Dauphin Way’s own Frye Gaillard, himself an award-winning author and chronicler of the 1960’s, will offer summary and perspective before responding to questions from the audience. Please join us for this special, timely event.
