NamesakeJohn Lewis (Feb 21, 1940 - Jul 17, 2020) - was an American politician and civil rights leader who served in the United States House of Representatives for
Georgia's 5th congressional district from 1987 until his death in 2020. Lewis served as the Chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) from 1963
to 1966.
Lewis was one of the "Big Six" leaders of groups who organized the 1963 March on Washington. He fulfilled many key roles in the civil rights movement and its actions
to end legalized racial segregation in the United States.
A member of the Democratic Party, Lewis was first elected to Congress in 1986 and served for 17 terms in the U.S. House of Representatives. Due to his length of
service, he became the dean of the Georgia congressional delegation. The district he served includes the northern three-quarters of Atlanta.
He was a leader of the Democratic Party in the U.S. House of Representatives, serving from 1991 as a Chief Deputy Whip and from 2003 as Senior Chief Deputy Whip.
Lewis received many honorary degrees and awards, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom. (Wikipedia)
