Jayden is stuck in detention with a book about Congressman John Lewis, but he thinks that history has nothing to teach him. Together we go on a musical journey through the decades that shows how the heroes in the Civil Rights movement inspired young John Lewis to protest injustice and get into 'good trouble.'
As a boy,
John dreams of being a preacher who can help others. While he doesn’t have a
congregation yet, he does have a loyal group of singing chickens that listen to
him as he finds his voice. On a harrowing road trip through the South, John’s
eyes and mind are opened to the injustices of segregation and racism, inspiring
him to take action. As John meets Rosa Parks and Dr. King and ultimately
becomes a leader and American hero himself, Jayden learns how he too can take a
stand.
