The Civil Rights Movement produced many African American heroes. Among those at the top of this list is John Lewis, who as a young student led the Nashville Student Movement in 1960. Using nonviolence and civil disobedience as their tools, Lewis and other courageous African Americans organized a series of sit-ins to demonstrate for the desegregation of Nashville. You can use this excerpt from Lewis’s Walking with the Wind to explore the Civil Rights Movement.
