Rev. C.T. Vivian
Representative John Lewis
We recently suggested watching the PBS Finding Your Roots episode on John Lewis and Cory Booker.
Watch the new documentary John Lewis: Good Trouble.
Again, after reading these obits and watching these documentaries, you may also want to watch the movie Selma, which is available to rent on Amazon for as little as $2.99.
