U.S. REPRESENTATIVE JOHN LEWISFebruary 21, 1940 – July 17, 2020

Rep. John Lewis (5th Cong. District of Georgia), a politician and civil rights leader, was inspired by the activism surrounding the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the words of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., which he heard on radio broadcasts. Since that time, he remained at the vanguard of progressive social movements and the human rights struggle in the United States. Rep. Lewis was elected to Congress in November 1986 and served as U.S. Representative of Georgia’s Fifth Congressional District until his death.

While studying at Fisk University, Rep. Lewis organized sit-in demonstrations at segregated lunch counters in Nashville, Tennessee. In 1961, he volunteered to participate in the Freedom Rides, which challenged segregation at interstate bus terminals across the South. Lewis risked his life on those rides many times by simply sitting in seats reserved for white patrons and was severely beaten by angry mobs and arrested by police for challenging the injustice of Jim Crow segregation in the South.

During the height of the Movement, from 1963 to 1966, Lewis was named Chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), which he helped form. SNCC was largely responsible for organizing student activism in the Movement, including sit-ins and other activities. He coordinated SNCC efforts to organize voter registration drives and community action programs during the Mississippi Freedom Summer. On March 7, 1965, Lewis helped spearhead one of the most seminal moments of the Civil Rights Movement when he and Hosea Williams led over 600 peaceful, orderly protestors across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama to Montgomery, to demonstrate the need for voting rights in Alabama. They intended to march from Selma to Montgomery to demonstrate the need for voting rights in the state. They were attacked by Alabama state troopers in a brutal confrontation that became known as “Bloody Sunday.”

Rep. Lewis was the author of several books and articles and has been recognized for his work in the social justice and civil rights arenas, receiving many awards, including the only John F. Kennedy “Profile in Courage Award” for Lifetime Achievement ever granted by the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation, and the highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, presented by President Barack Obama.

Our prayers are extended to Rep. Lewis’ son, John-Miles Lewis, and the entire family. May he rest among the greatest ancestors of our time.

Unison ScriptureEzekiel 37:1-10 (NRSV)

1The hand of the LORD came upon me, and he brought me out by the spirit of the LORD and set me down in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. 2He led me all around them; there were very many lying in the valley, and they were very dry. 3He said to me, “Mortal, can these bones live?” I answered, “O Lord GOD, you know.” 4Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them: O dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. 5Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones: I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live. 6I will lay sinews on you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live; and you shall know that I am the LORD.”

7So I prophesied as I had been commanded; and as I prophesied, suddenly there was a noise, a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to its bone. 8I looked, and there were sinews on them, and flesh had come upon them, and skin had covered them; but there was no breath in them. 9Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, mortal, and say to the breath: Thus says the Lord GOD: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.” 10I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood on their feet, a vast multitude.

REV. DR. C.T. VIVIANJuly 30, 1924 – July 17, 2020

“He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” (Micah 6:8)

Rev. Dr. C.T. Vivian, spiritual leader and strategist of the Civil Rights Movement, is known for his work as a field general for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (S.C.L.C.), where he served as the National Director for over 85 of its chapters. He is considered a “disciplined advocate of nonviolence” and served on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement. Dr. Vivian’s work in Birmingham, Alabama helped to enact the Civil Rights Bill and in Selma, the Voting Rights Bill.

Dr. Vivian served as Dean of The Urban Institute at The Interdenominational Theological Center in Atlanta, GA. In addition, his work included training ministers and developing the urban curriculum for seminaries throughout the nation at the Urban Training Center in Chicago. He is also credited with launching Vision (later known as Upward Bound), an educational program that assisted over 700 Alabama students to attend college on scholarship.

Dr. Vivian is the founder of the C.T. Vivian Leadership Institute, Inc. in Atlanta, Georgia, which trains and educates the new generation of grass-roots leaders inspired to mobilize a constituency. In honor of his vision and leadership in the fight for justice, President Barack Obama awarded Dr. Vivian with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in November of 2013.

Our prayers are extended to Dr. Vivian’s family. May he rest among the greatest ancestors of our time.
