Always right to do right by John Lewis sit-in tale
Rep John Lewis began with a 1960 lunch counter protest and endured jail harshness and firebombing as a teenager. In 1961 he rode with Freedom Riders until a mob torched a Trailways bus. Fifty five years later he led a congressional sit in alongside Rep Katherine Clark to press gun reform, drawing global coverage and debates over access to televised proceedings.
