Congressman John Lewis Speaks OUT!

It was 44 years ago (March 7, 1965) when a brave group of Americans set out to march from the small town of Selma, Alabama to the Capital of Montgomery in a peaceful demonstration to promote civil rights and voting equality for African-Americans. They were also commemorating the death of Jimmie Lee Jackson, shot three weeks earlier by a state trooper while trying to protect his mother at a civil rights demonstration.  The demonstrators were brutally attacked and beaten by state and local police, many of which were members of the KKK.  Among those leading the marches was a young man by the name of John Robert Lewis. Still to this day, John Lewis bears the scars of wounds he endured while being violently attacked and beaten by those who hated those of other races. Yet Lewis never gave up and is now known as U.S. Congressman John Lewis. To this day, Congressman Lewis (D-GA) continues his peaceful fight to gain equality for all citizens of this nation…including LGBT citizens!
