Profiles of Courage: John Lewis

February 17 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am

Everyone is invited to join us for a documentary and discussion on the life of John Lewis.  Meet the man who was an American civil rights leader and politician.  He led the march that was halted by police violence in Selma, Alabama, in 1965, a landmark event in the history of the civil rights movement that became known as Bloody Sunday.  He would continue his life of service in the United States House of Representatives where he was known as the conscience of Congress.  He served there until his passing in 2020, where he was honored as the first African American lawmaker to lie in state in the rotunda of the United States Capitol.  This event requires no registration and is open to everyone.
