John Lewis was a towering figure in the American civil rights movement, known for his unwavering commitment to nonviolent protest and social justice. As a key leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and a participant in the Freedom Rides and the Selma to Montgomery marches, Lewis endured violence and arrest in his quest for equality. His courage and resilience inspired generations of activists, and he continued to champion civil rights as a congressman, earning the nickname "the conscience of Congress." @HiddenBlackHistory213
