Across That Bridge - John Lewis
Audio performance by Keith David
5 stars

“ Even I, who has looked down the barrel of a gun with only my faith to defend me, would say there is a unique hostility in these times that almost seems worse to me than what we experienced in the 1960s.”

History, sermon, inspiration. This was easily the best 5 and a half listening hours that I’ve spent in a long time. Despite that pessimistic comment from the book’s introduction, the overall message was hopeful. There were no platitudes. Lewis is realistic and practical in his beliefs and his advice. I’m grateful and humbled.

Nice. I'll add this to my TBR.

This quote inspires me too.

“You cannot stop the call of history,” Mr. Lewis said last month, criticizing Mr. Trump’s enthusiasm for militarizing American cities. “You may use troopers, you may use fire hoses and water, but it cannot be stopped. There cannot be any turning back. We’ve come too far, made too much progress, to stop now or to go back. The world is seeing what is happening, and we are ready to continue to move forward.”
