A poignant biography on how John Lewis got his library card and helped change history.

All John Lewis wanted was a library card, but in 1956, libraries were only for white people.

That didn't seem fair to John, and so he spent a lifetime advocating for change and fighting against unfair laws until the laws changed. Finally, black people could eat at restaurants, see movies, vote in elections, and even get library cards. With an in-depth author's note and a timeline of John Lewis's life, Unstoppable John, written by New York Times bestselling author Pat Zietlow Miller, explores the profound impact John had on the world and that books had on him.
