@taylorbranch Lewis, Branch writes, grew up on a farm without plumbing or electricity and as a boy considered chickens special. When one was killed for dinner, he cried and boycotted meals. He took to preaching to them and even baptized chicks. “He developed a full ministry by the age of 10." — PolitiTweet.org

By chance, one New Year’s resolution for 2020 was to read more about the civil rights movement. The landmark trilogy by @taylorbranch of course has been a remarkable gift. His description of Lewis: “There was an incandescence in Lewis that shone through all his shortcomings." — PolitiTweet.org

Really looking forward to "His Truth is Marching On," a biography of John Lewis by ⁦@jmeacham⁩ coming out in October. Judging from its place on the bestseller list before it's even been published, it seems others may be too. https://t.co/CXxamy29Zb — PolitiTweet.org
