Now John Lewis, the great civil rights leader,

Let me give an AMEN to what John Lewis did on the Selma bridge. Got his head busted over it. He was in the street to stop a bad Alabama state policy.

In that day, there was a bunch of demagoguery on states rights (paging Sheets)

Let me give an AMEN to what John Lewis did on the Selma bridge.

Not necessary. Lewis gies himself that AMEN over and over again, constantly restaging the scene and/or recounting it on the front page of the Atlanta paper.
