"Good trouble is about dramatizing something that needs changing and correcting," writes the late, great Congressman John Lewis.
In these 37 reflections, Lewis gives readers a final gift: a guide for leading a life of awareness, hope and action. Some stories may be familiar to fans of the civil rights activist who met Rosa Parks when he was 17 and called Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. his mentor after meeting him at age 18. Yet the nuggets of wisdom he draws from each experience take on an intimate quality as he speaks to readers directly. Lewis was arrested 40 times (45 "if you include the arrests while in Congress," he writes), but he never lost faith or his sense of humor. It's no secret he once thought of becoming a preacher, and the power of his words allow readers simultaneously to hear his cry of injustice at George Floyd's murder while also advocating for nonviolence, hope and faith. Each brief entry serves as a meditation from a master practitioner.
