Today, February 21st, is the birthday of former Congressman and lifetime civil rights advocate, John Lewis. John Lewis spent his life leading the charge to protect human rights and is known as one of the “Big Six” leaders during the Civil Rights Movement.

The legacy of John Lewis will be remembered for generations to come and as we reflect on Black History Month, we honor the steadfast action by Lewis and countless other activists that fought for freedom, basic human rights, and equality for all.
