Only once, in Selma, before Bloody Sunday. Dr. King had come to town. He was desegregating the Hotel Albert, the old downtown hotel in Selma, and a white supremacist came up to King, struck him, tried to kick him in the groin, and Lewis reacted for the first and only time in that long life of civil disobedience by throwing his arms around the guy. He embraced him in a hug.
