On the day of Barack Obama's inauguration, US Representative John Lewis tells of his life from a farm in Alabama to meeting Dr. King, attending college in Nashville, discovering nonviolence and the social gospel, and helping organize sit-ins to desegregate lunch counters. After much resistance, arrests, and even violence, lunch counter operators slowly and resentfully begin to desegregate. As Lewis leaves for the inaugural of the first black President, Book One ends with the words, "Don't get weary."
