At only 14 years old, Tybre Faw is a passionate civil rights activist. From a young age, Faw has been captivated by history, especially the civil rights movement. At just 10 years old, due to his determination—and help from his two grandmothers—Faw made a 7-hour car ride to Selma, Alabama, where he met and befriended his idol, the late Rep. John Lewis. He will be discussing the book based on this story, "Because of You, John Lewis: The True Story of a Remarkable Friendship" by Andrea Davis Pinkney, at the 2022 National Book Festival.
