A fascinating glimpse into the boyhood of Civil Rights leader John Lewis. John wants to be a preacher when he grows up-- a leader whose words stir hearts to change, minds to think, and bodies to take action. When John is put in charge of the family farm's flock of chickens, he preaches to his flock, and they listen, content under his watchful care, riveted by the rhythm of his voice.
