RESCHEDULED due to inclement weather: The Feb. 13 Great Lives Series on John Lewis
NEW DATE: Tuesday, Apr. 1
7:30 p.m. Dodd Auditorium, George Washington Hall
Lecture by Ray Arsenault. For six decades, John Robert Lewis (1940-2020) was a towering figure in the U.S. civil rights movement. Renowned for his integrity, courage, and commitment to “good trouble,” Lewis’s activism began in rural Alabama and extended through his work as a Freedom Rider, leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, and champion of voting rights. Lewis later served as the “conscience of Congress,” advocating for racial justice, immigration reform, LGBTQ rights, and national health care.
