Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
An inspiring story of a friendship between Congressman John Lewis
and ten-year-old activist Tybre Faw by New York Times bestselling
author Andrea Davis Pinkney! Ten-year-old Tybre Faw is obsessed
with history and the civil rights movement, and he devours every
book he can find on the subject. When he learns of Congressman John
Lewis's harrowing and heroic march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge
in the fight for the right to vote, Tybre is determined to meet
him. Tybre's two grandmothers take him on the seven-hour drive to
Selma. And as the two meet and become fast friends, Tybre joins
Lewis for the annual walk across the Edmund Pettus Bridge! When
John Lewis is laid to rest, Tybre is invited to read Lewis's
favourite poem, "Invictus," at the funeral service. Pinkney weaves
this story of a boy with a dream with the story of a true-life hero
(who himself was inspired by Martin Luther King when he was a boy).
Who will be next to rise up and turn the page on history? Perfect

More and more managerial challenges require leaders to be
accountable-to take initiative without having full authority for
the process or the outcomes. Accountability goes beyond
responsibility. Whereas responsibility is generally delegated by
the boss, the organization, or by virtue of position,
accountability is having an intrinsic sense of ownership of the
task and the willingness to face the consequences that come with
success or failure. Through this guidebook you will learn how your
organization and its leaders can create a culture that fosters
accountability by focusing on five areas: support, freedom,
information, resources, and goal and role clarity.
