If you click here you will get t o the BBC’s obituary for John Lewis. Below is the news report from Channel Four. Please have a look at both – they are like a timeline of the Civil Rights unit. As the article suggests, he “forged his legacy as a lifetime champion for civil rights and racial equality during the struggles of the 1960s as he preached a message of non-violence alongside Dr Martin Luther King Jr.”
The two quotations from Lewis below really sum up the passive resistance movement.
“Hold only love, only peace in your heart, knowing that the battle of good to overcome evil is already won.
“Choose confrontation wisely, but when it is your time don’t be afraid to stand up, speak up, and speak out against injustice.”
