Summary of John Lewis's Across That Bridge

By IRB Media

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview: #1 Faith is the ability to believe in the authority of a divine plan, even when society and history are against you. We as a nation believed in inherent inequality, but we knew that it was not real, and we knew people would even kill to maintain that belief.

#2 We, as African Americans, had experienced the equality of all humankind first-hand, and we knew that it was not a dream. We believed that if we stood together based on faith, the forces of the universe would come to our aid.

#3 The problems we face in the trials of our lives, whether we are protesting against injustice or battling cancer, can help us grow beyond our personal limits. As we command our spirit to find a way to overcome these obstacles, we are forced to break past any false trappings of the identity.

#4 The same power you activate in the midst of adversity can be used to bring about the kind of change or transformation you wish to see in your own life. When you reject the idea that you are powerless, worthless, and incapable of counteracting the force of an unjust government, you can feel your faith building.
