Rare Repentance
U.S. Rep. John Lewis.
I have been studying the civil rights movement for over a decade, and continue to be amazed by the stories of courage and sacrifice that marked that heroic era in United States history. From iconic figures like Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr., to the thousands of women and men who gave up buses for over a year to bring greater racial justice, we grow as a people when we remember and honor those who served on the front lines in the struggle against racism.
