Walking with the Wind: A Memoir of the Movement

Lewis, John, with Michael D'Orso. Walking with the Wind: A Memoir of the Movement. New York: Simon & Schuster, 1998.

Why this matters here

John Lewis's memoir describes his participation in the civil-rights movement, including the Selma marches and Bloody Sunday. The manuscript uses this participant's perspective for Lewis's role at the bridge, while distinguishing it from organizational accounts of the wider movement.
