In 1965, John Lewis led marchers across Selma’s Edmund Pettus Bridge, and was brutally beaten by police. The footage aired during prime time and shocked the nation, helping pave the way for the Voting Rights Act.
He never stopped fighting for justice.
“Get in and stay in the streets … until true freedom comes.”
