John Lewis and Nonviolent Actions (over Zoom)

In honor of John Lewis's life (Feb. 21, 1940-July 17, 2020) and his many years of activism that led to racial justice progress, we are having an open conversation sharing our knowledge of his life and work, nonviolent actions in general, and our own experiences doing nonviolent actions.

Here are some (optional) resources to help to educate yourself about John Lewis's life and work (you can share any suggested resources you recommend for us about John Lewis (or this topic) in the comments):

John Lewis - Get in the Way (PBS Special, 53m):
"Follow the journey of civil rights hero, congressman and human rights champion John Lewis. At the Selma March, Lewis came face-to-face with club-wielding troopers and exemplified non-violence."
