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.

Now a six-term Congress man, Lewis has served as the Chief Deputy Democratic Whip since 1991 and is widely regarded as one of therisingstars of the House. “More than half a century has passed,” Lewis writes, “and it has struck me more than once over those many years that our society is not unlike the children in that AUGUSTA FOCUS JUNE 4, 1998 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.” 5B
