The First and the Last

I'm not big on the word "hero." It gets thrown around far too casually for my taste, especially in Washington. But yesterday, I produced a live interview with the last living speaker from the March on Washington in 1963, the first chairman of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee, a member of the first group of Freedom Riders, the most prominent victim of Bloody Sunday on Selma, Alabama's Pettus Bridge... and the list goes on. That man, fourteen term U.S. Congressman John Lewis (D-GA), deserves to be called a hero. Enough said.
