John Lewis (civil rights leader) quotes - page 2

My mother and father and many of my relatives had been sharecroppers. (John Lewis (civil rights leader))
When I was 15 years old in the tenth grade, I heard Martin Luther King, Jr. Three years later, when I was 18, I met Dr. King and we became friends. Two years after that I became very involved in the civil rights movement. I was in college at the time. As I got more and more involved, I saw politics as a means of bringing about change. View quote
