a 8 “Bloody Sunday.” Mounted Ala
. bama state troopers charged the
| unarmed men, women, and chil
| dren, attacking them with clubs
| and tear gas as television news
| cameras recorded the carnage.
i Lewis himself suffered a fractured
| skull. The nation’s revulsion at

| stateofficials on that day led to the
! passage of the Voting Rights Act of
| 1966.

l “Something was born in Selma
during the course of that year,”
i Lewis writes, “but something died
there, too. The road of nonvio
i lence had essentially run out.”

The assassination of black Mus

along with the riots that broke out
inthe summer of 1965 in the Watts
section of Los Angeles and in many
other cities, contributed to the
grim atmosphere. In 1966, Lewis
was ousted as SNCC chairman by
Stokely Carmichael, whose call for

became head of the Southern Re

in the movement, including Lewis
himself, for his foot-dragging in
response to their needs in the
South. In aremarkable conversa
tion, Robert Kennedy told him,
“John, the Npooplo, the you;g
people of SNCC, have educa
me. You have changed me. Now
I understand.”
Lewis was in Indianapolis on
April 4, 1968, helping to prepare
for a Kennedy rally, when he re
ceived word that Dr. King had
been shot and killed in Memphis.
Devastated by the loss, Lewis lis
tened as Kennedy broke the news
to the largely black audience in
one of the most moving and per
sonally revealing speeches of his
life. Exactly two months later,
Lewis wasin Los Angeles the night

Sirhan moments after giving his
victory speech. Lewis dropped to
his knees, cryingout “Why? Why?
Why?” Then came the disastrous
1968 Democratic convention in
Chicago and the election of Rich
ard Nixon. Lewis writes, “The
question now, for both me and the
colt:'n:y. was, eoulc'i’ we pick our
selves up yet again?”
Disheartened but never losing
hope entirely, Lewis spent the
1970 s working for a variety of
peace and grassroots volunteer or
ganizations. In 1981, after three
years as associate director of AC
TION, the federal volunteer
agency, Lewis made his first run
for elective office. Asa member of
the Atlanta City Council, he gained
a reputation as an independent

house, rocked again and again by
the winds of one storm or another,
the walls around us seeming at
times as if they might fly apart. It
seemed that way in the 19605, at
the height of the civil rights move
ment, when America itself felt as
ifit might burst at the seams — o
much tension, so many storms.
But the people of conscience never
left the house. They never ran
away. They stayed, they came
together and they did the best
they could, clasping hands and
moving toward the corner of the
house that was weakest ... Chil
dren holding hands, walking with
the wind. That is America to me
— not just the movement for civil
rights but the endless struggle to
respond with decency, dignity, and
a sense of brotherhood to all the
challenges that face us as a na
tion, as a whole.”
