In 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.

As Ferguson, Missouri, erupted in August 2014 and media commentators across the ideological spectrum referred to the angry response of African Americans as 'Black rage', historian Carol Anderson wrote a remarkable op-ed in the Washington Post showing that this was, instead, 'white rage at work. With so much attention on the flames,' she wrote, 'everyone had ignored the kindling.'

When will we become the country we say we are?
Revisado: 08-22-19
The author did a good job of organizing the book around the issues and why this type of white rage continues to grow. The point that she makes about the halls of power (civil rights, voting suppression laws, criminal justice system, legislation), is the scary part, that they are just as destructive without having to wear white sheets or burning crosses. The assessment of the issues were straightforward with lots of data points, which supported her thought process that until society is willing to face the truth, we are doomed to repeat the past when it comes to racist sentiments and actions. The book laid out intentional disregard and abandonment of a country to ensure a more perfect union to all its citizens. Most importantly though, it showed a country that is the leader of the free world with democracy built into the fabric of its existence successfully reinscribed slavery by another name versus eradicating it in any form or matter. Her thought process that society's inability to confront white rage for what it is, allows it to continue to provide the cover and approval for racial hostility and violence.
