Description: We Take Pride in our Packaging HE DEVOTED HIS LIFE TO FREEDOM AND JUSTICE LONG-SERVING U.S. CONGRESSMAN JOHN LEWIS devoted his life to the struggle for justice and civil rights in America, a quest that was often painful and physically demanding. As a participant in sit-ins and freedom rides he was in the forefront of the protest movement; as a leader of the first Selma to Montgomery march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, he was attacked by state troopers and police in an incident that was infamous as Bloody Sunday. Author Jon Meacham, a Pulitzer Prize-winner, tells the story of this courageous descendant of slaves and the son of a tenant farmer who won the admiration of the country for risking his life for his beliefs. In 2011, he received from President Obama the nations highest civilian honor - the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Down the years he received many awards and honorary degrees. Congressman Lewis died in 2020 at the age of 80.
