โฆAt just 23 years old, he stepped onto one of the biggest stages in historyโthe 1963 March on Washingtonโrepresenting the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC):
โงHe spoke before Dr. Kingโs "I Have a Dream" speech, warning the nation that "๐ธ๐ฆ ๐ฅ๐ฐ ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ธ๐ข๐ฏ๐ต ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ ๐ง๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ฎ ๐จ๐ณ๐ข๐ฅ๐ถ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐บ, ๐ฃ๐ถ๐ต ๐ธ๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ข๐ฏ๐ต ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ฃ๐ฆ ๐ง๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฆ ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ธ!" His words were passionate, urgent, and set the tone for the next phase of the movement.
โงHis young age didnโt stop him from delivering one of the dayโs most powerful and fiery speeches, cementing him as a national leader in the fight for justice.
โThe Fair Housing Act of 1968 was a landmark victory for housing equality. Already a key civil rights leader, Lewis kept fighting against discrimination in homeownership and lending.
