Georgia Congressman John Lewis was a courageous activist during the Civil Rights Movement. He came close to paying "the highest human price" when brutally beaten for his peaceful demonstrations. He is courageous as ever, a voice of reason on so many issues. We're fortunate he's willing to serve.
Tomorrow (Wednesday, February 27) the Supreme Court will consider whether key provisions of the Voting Rights Act remain constitutional. Given the outrageous violations of the Act during the last Presidential election—blatant attempts at minority voter suppression—I would say the Voting Rights Act is as critical now as it was when it was enacted.
Here's a link to the Washington Post opinion piece on the subject by Congressman Lewis. I'm getting nervous about this. May justice prevail.
