He was elected to Congress in 1986 and served 17 terms representing an Atlanta-area district. While in Congress, Lewis served as a physical reminder of how far the country had come on civil rights — and how much more was left to be done.
This is a common thought on the left, that no matter how much has been accomplished in the area of civil rights, that no matter how far we have come, that there is still a long way to go.
Repeat a lie often enough, and.............
When it comes to civil rights, major civil rights laws in the 1960s broke the back of “Jim Crow” laws. Policies on affirmative action have been in place for decades in government employment, many major companies, and the field of education.
My ongoing question, is what more needs to be done? In the area of legislation and policies meant to promote black and other minority achievement, we have already done all of those things.
If too many black young men go off and go God knows what with youth gangs, rather than getting an education and achieving something positive in life, how is that due to ongoing racism?????
They won’t be finished, till every white person is either dead, destitute, or in a re-education camp.
