New Biography Admires John Lewis' Faith That 'It's All Going To Work Out'

Among Lewis' admirers is Jon Meacham, the Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer and journalist. Meacham tells the story of Lewis' involvement in the civil rights movement in His Truth Is Marching On, published just weeks after the congressman's death. It's an interesting book, though limited in scope — while Meacham does a good job contextualizing Lewis' civil rights work in the 1960s, it doesn't paint a full portrait of the legendary activist.
