Lewis: The chokehold of racism and discrimination he and Sessions both grew up with in Alabama could not be denied. Talks about the scourge of segregation. The forces of law and order were so strong that to take on the injustice, we had to put our bodies and lives on the line. It took massive non-violent dissent to get the Voting Rights Act, for a greater sense of equality in America. More than 50 year ago, a group of unarmed citizens, black and white, gathered to walk from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama to demonstrate we wanted the right to vote. We were left beaten, bloody...some of us almost died on that bridge. LBJ and Congress responded. We made progress, but we’re not there yet. There are forces that want to take us back...we don’t want to go back, we want to go forward. We need someone who is going to stand up, speak up, and speak out for the people who need help, who have been discriminated against…. We all live in the same house...we need someone as AG who will stand with all of us. (Apologies for not giving you Rep. Lewis’s words in full. Look for the video afterward. It’s worth it.)
