John Robert Lewis (February 21, 1940–July 17, 2020) was a civil rights leader and U.S. congressman who devoted his life to nonviolent action and voting rights. A Freedom Rider and chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), he spoke at the 1963 March on Washington and helped lead the 1965 Selma march remembered as Bloody Sunday. He represented Georgia in Congress from 1987 until his death in 2020.
