Jayden is stuck in detention with a book about Congressman John Lewis, but he thinks that history has nothing to teach him. As a boy, Lewis dreamed of being a preacher who helps others. While he doesn’t yet have a congregation, he does have a loyal group of singing chickens that listen to him as he finds his voice.
