The congressman and civil-rights leader John Lewis died on Friday. Lewis grew up in a sharecropper family near Troy, Alabama. When he was barely 20, he was among the first Freedom Riders and helped to organize the 1963 March on Washington, where he spoke alongside Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. In a long career as an activist, Lewis was arrested 45 times and beaten repeatedly by the police and by white supremacists, most famously in Selma, on March 7, 1965—Bloody Sunday—when he helped lead 600 people marching for voting rights, sparking Lyndon Johnson to push through the Voting Rights Act. “No one, over a long lifetime, gets everything right,” David Remnick wrote, in 2019. “John Lewis has come as close as anyone.” At the link in our bio, read about Lewis’s lifelong fight for freedom and equality.
