Congressman John Lewis: A Civil Rights Hero

Raised on a cotton field in rural Alabama, Rep. John Lewis served on the frontline of the Civil Rights Movement to end systematic racial segregation. From speaking at the March on Washington to enduring severe beatings as he participated in the Freedom Rides, John Lewis now continues the fight for equality as a U.S. Congressman.

@t w wtf is wrong with you? He was an amazing leader fighting for the rights of unprivileged black Americans so that racists would understand that people go beyond the color of their skin and at the end of the day are still human beings. Everyone deserves the respect.
