DAVID GREENBERG’s John Lewis: A Life captures the legacy of the civil rights icon through long-lost footage, never-before-used FBI documents, and interviews with hundreds of people who knew him, including Lewis himself. In LEONARD PITTS JR.’s 54 Miles: A Novel, a family confronts painful memories, past trauma, and racial injustice during a few pivotal weeks in American history in March 1965 – from the infamous Bloody Sunday march in Selma, Alabama, to the triumphant entry into the Alabama State Capitol.
