In this episode, Morgan tells us about Congressman and activist John Lewis. A man with many lifetimes worth of rebellion, adventure, and work for the people.
“Though I may not be here with you, I urge you to answer the highest calling of your heart and stand up for what you truly believe. In my life, I have done all I can to demonstrate that the way of peace, the way of love, and nonviolence is the more excellent way. Now it is your turn to let freedom ring.”
John was raised in a segregated school in Alabama. He was incredibly disappointed when his school remained segregated after Brown v. Board of Education. He was a leader his entire lifetime. Pushing beyond his roots and making strides towards changes. From sit-ins to Freedom rides, Marching, to running for office, this man spent his entire work fighting to end systemic racism in our country.
