Across That Bridge

A Vision for Change and the Future of America

By: John Lewis

Narrated by: Keith David

From celebrated Congressman John Lewis comes an eyewitness account of history from a key member of the Civil Rights Movement and confidant to Martin Luther King Jr.

In turbulent times Americans look to the Civil Rights Movement as the apotheosis of political expression. As we confront a startling rise in racism and hate speech and remain a culture scarred by social inequality, there's no better time to revisit the lessons of the '60s and no better leader to learn from than the late Representative John Lewis.

In the final book published before his passing, Across That Bridge, Congressman John Lewis draws from his experience as a prominent leader of the Civil Rights Movement to offer timeless wisdom, poignant recollections, and powerful principles for anyone interested in challenging injustices and inspiring real change toward a freer, more peaceful society.

The Civil Rights Movement gave rise to the protest culture we know today, and the experiences of leaders like Congressman Lewis, a close confidant to Martin Luther King, Jr., have never been more relevant. Despite more than forty arrests, physical attacks, and serious injuries, John Lewis remained a devoted advocate of the discipline and philosophy of nonviolence. Now, in an era in which the protest culture he helped forge has resurfaced as a force for change, Lewis' insights have never been more relevant. In this heartfelt book, Lewis explores the contributions that each generation must make to achieve change.

Now featuring an updated introduction from the author addressing the Trump administration, Across that Bridge offers a strong and moral voice to guide our nation through an era of great uncertainty.

Winner of the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work/Biography.

Inspiration...Positivity...Just what I needed.

Honestly, the only thing that would have made it better is if John Lewis would've performed it himself. Though Keith David was fantastic! we are so blessed to reflect on this work after Lewis' passing. Highly recommended. Just what I needed.

A wonderful audio of a true change maker!

I loved this audio. Congressman Lewis promoted love and peace. Throughout his book, he gives credit to people who helped shape his peaceful and loving philosophy. I am also going to order a hard copy of 'Across That Bridge '

Narrator was outstanding.
This book is very important for everyone to read. Incredible Courage.

Eye opener to those who choose to stay blind

Congressman John Lewis report’s of fighting injustice with peace and harmony to train the minds of the privileged and entitled that violence against racism will only make the plead for equality to never prosper. For freedom we must remain above ignorance and fear of a people who are different.

Well written and well performed.

I really enjoyed this book! Great performance and writing! Many great stories to listen to.
