John Lewis and Bryan Stevenson: The fight for civil rights and freedom | TED
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 фев 2025
- Civil rights leader and longtime US congressman John Lewis spent his life fighting for freedom and justice for everyone. In this illuminating conversation with lawyer and activist Bryan Stevenson, Lewis discusses the essential importance of voting, shares encouraging words of wisdom for the generation of young people currently organizing in the struggle for racial justice and tells moving stories from his decades of making "good trouble" -- at the Freedom Rides, March on Washington and in the halls of Congress. "When you see something that's not right or fair or just, you have to say something," Lewis says. "You have to do something." (This conversation is part of the TED Legacy Project. Recorded November 19, 2019)

I would love to see Bryan Stevenson have a series of interviews with influential activists that help us understand how we can each be inspired to stand up in courage and embrace their traits and lessons in our own missions for justice.
The guy talks too much
I totally agree
Well, if you dislike this video, it just speaks volumes of who you are. This video has truly inspired me to do my best in my little corner through humility, integrity, honesty, forgiveness and respect for everyone. Thanks so much for this video.
I am just sorry for all people who died because of blm hands
Many thanks for sharing good positive word. Stay safe like minded friend :)
@@lol007not the millions displaced and killed from racism in America. Says a lot about your racist self.
Yesssssssssss I strongly concur
John Lewis, such a beautiful and loving man, and a true patriot! Rest in peace and love. 🇺🇸
I am forever more grateful for the loving powerful man that the Lord created in John Lewis, John Lewis is a perfect example of humility and compassion through a long path and clearly the Love of Christ the high volume of an excellent spirit equal to the spirit of his creator in the Lord. A true soldier of truth and such humbleness, certainly a human being that so many millions can learn and amplify from his excellent example to apply from his life. I am grateful for the life of John Lewis and thank God for the excellent man He created in His perfect image and spirit. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
Blessed and forever more a beacon of Light that has endless shine in the presence of the Lord. !!
The legacy of John Lewis will live on forever. May his soul fly on the wings of angels. God’s servant has gone home.
I played in a band with Bryan back in 1982 back in our college days back in Philadelphia. He was a good keyboard player and songwriter, we went in the studio in Levittown and layed
down some tracks. He always had a heart for what is right and for truth, a great Christian brother
Hello. I am Japanese. To be honest, I don’t know much about American history, but, I’m so Impressed. I hve to learn more.
You will be
disappointed
Here’s a start....museumandmemorial.eji.org/ in Montgomery, Alabama. It was imagined, funded & created by the Interviewer in this video, Bryan Stevenson!
Late, but go for unbiased sources that don't try to paint thing a certain way to suit their narrative.
Seriously, the amount of indoctrination in the US for the last decades is scary.
We should all learn more everybody's nationality maybe then we will ALL get along💜💜
You will be disappointed and impressed at the same time.
Words can not express how grateful we are for your righteous painstaiking efforts fighting for humanity as we know it. Thank you for your whole lifes devotion to protect human rights for children of millions, what an amazing meaningful deed, an act of pure love. You're such a rare inspiration, bright light in a dark tunnel for millions. "A grain of pure Love will move a mountain of hate".
Thank you sir! - Blessings!

John Lewis was an amazing, brave person and leader. He will be missed by everyone. RIP brother❤️

What a gift John Lewis was to this world.
What a special gift of a human being. An incredible man who’s wisdom will stay with us all. RIP
Rest In Heaven great man of hope, freedom, love and wisdom. The world grieves your loss but heaven is rejoicing its gain. Love you man of peace we will remember all of your sacrifices for civil rights & justice.
John Lewis is a light in a dark world. Im learning so much by studying his life and his books. Onward and upward!
Wow, have we ever seen such a true and humble heart? With God, is true equality because He looks at the heart and nothing else. Any other message is counterfeit.
New Covenant Guy Hello, thank u for this link. While I’m aware of black politicians who do not look back with a helping hand. I wasn’t aware John Lewis was such a one. I was solely responding to this interview. I do hope that in the end he did have a repentant heart. I also know that politics is a powerful foe to those not prepared for that arena. I believe planned parenthood killed many beautiful men and women who could’ve glorified God. Even though we fail, our failure doesn’t disqualify us from being used and being blessed. Thank u! And God bless
Amen!!!!
Many thanks for sharing good positive word. Stay safe like minded friend :)
Legacy defined. Two of the most inspirational moral leaders who define the character of the civil rights movement, The strength of nonviolence and power of redemption songs🙏🏼
What a gift to Mr. Stevenson to have said that to and about Mr. Lewis before he passed.
He served his life for Justice to his nation Legend personality
What about his personal
FD
d0d
His "life" for justice? Really? His record says otherwise.
"If not us, then who?
If not now, then when?"
--John Lewis
Now there was a glimpse of what Steve Jobs so poignantly articulated,"We are here to make a dent in the universe; why else would we be here?"
Empathy and uprightness (integrity+humility) are the cornerstones of humanity, this TED legacy talk will advance the collective consciousness of the planet (and beyond, someday soon) irreversibly.
Love and much gratitude to the TED team from Goa, India: The proverbial El Dorado that has gotten used to *NOT* seeing an iota of justice since liberation in 1961
Thank you John Lewis for your sacrifices and bravery ! Well done!

Hopeful and powerful
I'll STAND for every race, every gender, any age and for all generations. I'm a God fearing woman who has been victimized by our government and ignored.
John Lewis is an American hero, and someone people should look up to and model themselves after. I've learned so much about him in college and I highly recommend reading his graphic novel trilogy March. He inspires me to be a better person.
Keep moving. Engagement. Frerdom. Justice. Love. Kindness. Faith. Respect dignity.
It's easier to see through his stories how God's wisdom of love is the best wisdom. Love brings redemption.
The past does not have to be your prison. You have a voice in your destiny. You have a say in your life. You have a choice in the path you take.
It is very heartening to witness that many minorities worldwide are joining the Black Lives Matter marches.
I am a mother of a white son & daughter & I am proud to say that they both marched alongside the B.L.M.
I had great respect for John Lewis. A sad loss to the world. #RIPJohnLewis
I so enjoyed this interview so sell done! John Lewis is truly a bright light in the world leading the way for other young back men and woman to road of activism
This video is extraordinary. I enjoyed every minute. The video motivated me to do more for justice. Thanks.
I was listening to this on spotify and what an amazing man ! little sidenote : I got very distracted from the repeated affirmating sounds the interviewer makes
John Lewis was a true Patriot.
Ted is my favorite program 😍
From middle east I would say
"I hope I will speak English frequently like you "
Y8ktjdun;? N no mot hillbilly by, hi
One of the best interviews I've seen. John Lewis is a man who truly embodies courage.
Thank you, Representative Lewis! Thank you!
He lived and studied only about 20minutes from my area
And I went to his drive through memorial grave ceremony
Thank you for this. It has educated me on perspective and peace.
Love the idea of teaching love as a tactic in non-violent action.
John is such an amazing man, what good fruit faith may produce, if given the right nourishment. Try your best to resist toxins folks. Negativity is a slippery fish.
Are you really Clint Howard?
Two wonderful eloquent men.
I love Just Mercy and Stevenson! So inspiring!!

John Lewis was a remarkable, inspirational individual. His interviewer needs to learn that his constant agreement noises are distracting and unnecessary.
JOHN ROBERT LEWIS WAS A BRAVE BOLD AND LOVING AMERICAN WHO LED BY EXAMPLE. HIS SOUL GOES FIGHTING ON!
Thank you! This encourages me during a time I often can dispute!🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Not sure I've ever seen a better end to an interview... Actually, I am sure... I haven't!
Such an awesome life and legacy.

RIP❤️
Finally some content
Hey TED
I hope you change your mind about closing the channel Ted на русском #savetedrussia
I'm curious to know what this is about. I tried searching for it, but only came up with results in Russian.
Absolutely love this.
@
What about "Share knowledge"?! Don't block "TED на русском"!
#SaveTEDRussia
Do a video about the white genocide in South Africa at the hands of the racist black ANC regime.
What a wonderful human being John Lewis was and his legacy will go on. Remember to get into "good trouble " and please let's vote for Joe Biden. We can't let Trump steal 4 more years. R.I.P. Mr. John Lewis ❤
RIP John Lewis 🙏🏾
I love this interview
To think that 1960s America is the same as today should be an exact reason why term limits for senators need to be in place. People who make their money off of race division need to be kicked out of the public spotlight.
He hugged the fucking man that beat him bloody. Wow that is fucking powerful
I only found out about the official TED channel through Russian translations of the Ted video, and you closed this channel and didn't even cooperate with it. The channel existed only thanks to the support of subscribers, there was not even advertising, how could you do this?
Great interview
Rest in peace Brother John
There was so much I did not know about Congressman John Lewis before I got this article assignment. Like for example, the police used to beat him up so bad, one time he had a concussion from getting hit with a billy club. Here's the article ya'll topviewtv.com/thank-you-congressman-john-lewis/
5:00 trouble
I do thank you for posting this dialogue.
I have so many ideas but I don't go to that school is there any way to speak my mind without going to that school or do you need to be apart or this school in order to speak
Wish he could've seen what was signed today.
The fight for civil rights continues. There is someone right now that needs help. This secret they are keeping is not human and they deserve help.
Such a beautiful giant, we shall overcome, indeed ♥️
Respect to John Lewis
Two legends
Very glad I watched this.
Why 480p?
I'm crying and it didnt even start yet
Please help me to write down 15 key points of this speech🙏thanks ahead
Оставьте нам Ted !!!!!!!!!!!!
#SaveTEDRussia ✊
I last saw 'St John of Edison' On May 31 2016. I did not feel then nor do I feel now that encounter was happenstance it was sent as a message. I begged my brother to get help but I didnt realize those I would ask for help are the very ones part of the horrific issue of brutality against Blacks. i may never d8sciver the truth of what happened in Newark . There is so much blatant acts of questionable leadership and betrayal of trust.
Always remember to repent of your sins (sin is transgression of YAHUAH’S LAW: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy) And Have Belief On YAHUSHA HAMASHYACH. HE Died and Rose three days later so that you can be forgiven of your sins!
HE Loves you! Come to HIM!🙂🙂🙂🙂
It so powerfull , RIP 💔💔💔
I crossed a bridge once
A hero when 38% of African American Children live in poverty. All those years at the Hillary trough filling their faces with what little the poor had left. He certainly enriched himself!!!!
Should have way more views.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE tell the world about the situation in Belarus - the police kill and beat people for a different opinion.
Amazing person. Great channel
To spend your life fighting to be treated like a man
Wasn't John Lewis famous for being corrupt? for lining his pocket at the expense of his community????
21:12
Even after two Democrat Presidents had two terms in recent years to accomplish what was set out to do, why wasn't their objective completed?
Again everywhere this topic) more important thing:)
When,people are racist ,no matter how good you are.
,,they create,image of a good person, describing themselves and made,up image of the victim with there,own.description.made,see,like criminal the target.the victim.
just,because they are,racist,.
But its very obvious when,they skip the process,of the law,.lavishes and biased ways. Even a blind person can see,.
if you not agree.you are racist.
waooww nice discussion thanks for taught me😘😘
Interviewer moaning for 23 minutes straight wth
I love you 💛
Best hashtag for motivational sayings #quotes69 #viral69
John Lewis had about as much business being in Congress as my neighbors Chihuahua.
Rip Mace Windu 😭😢
That is so interesting
He was a race hustler, poverty pimp and grifter who made millions off of the taxpayers and bribes. He did NOTHING for those he represented. GOOD RIDDANCE!
Terrible interview. mmm, mmm, yeah, yeah, mmm, mmm, yeah, yeah...felt like it was a sermon in a black church not an interview
No loss here
Glad the racist is gone
