A man worth admiring
John Lewis is in the news a bit right now, mostly because of this news of a new Georgia law requiring photo ID at the polls. Some are saying it’s Jim Crow all over again, and others are saying it’s simply a reasonable way to prevent voter fraud. I personally am torn, as I think the idea of standardization is good, but the current law allows alternate forms of ID for those that don’t have a license or ID for whatever reason.BUT the reason for this was to show you guys some great excerpts from a speech he made. Growing up in southern Alabama during the time of segregation, Lewis recollected how he was told not to “get in the way…not to get in trouble.”
“Find a way to get in the way…find a way to make necessary trouble,” said Lewis to an outburst of applause from students in the crowd.
