Problem: Discuss the ways John Lewis played a central role in the Black Freedom Movement and why author Jon Meacham argued he was "as important to the founding of a modern and multi-ethnic twentieth- and twenty-first-century America as Thomas Jefferson and James Madison and Samuel Adams were to the initial creation of the Republic itself in the eighteenth century." How did Lewis' faith "'In humanity and in God' influence his civil rights activism, and in what ways did it challenge the religious faith and traditions of many white Americans?
