He invited some friends he had made to go see a movie. That wouldn't be possible, they explained, because Jim was white and they were black. They couldn't enter the theater together, couldn't sit together, couldn't use the same restrooms and couldn't eat from the same snack bar.
"I got mad," Zwerg recalled. "Who are these people saying I can't go to a movie with my friends?"
Soon after that, he met John Lewis — a leader of the Nashville Student Movement, participant in its lunch counter sit-ins and one of 13 original Freedom Riders. Eventually, the pair would be seatmates for a stretch of a Freedom Ride into the Deep South, and in Montgomery, Ala., unprotected by police, they were met by a mob of 1,000 armed with bats, pipes, chains and hammers.
The two men were reunited Sunday in Appleton, Zwerg's hometown, where they both were presented with honorary degrees from Lawrence University, and Lewis, now a Democratic congressman from Georgia, spoke at the school's commencement ceremonies.
Gracias for that PTurandot~Amazing!

What a team they made and they're both still here after all these years.. still going strong.

Happy Birthday to John Lewis
Thanks so much for letting us know that it's his birthday, certainly one of our best and bravest! And I still think that bridge should be renamed after him. He has certainty paid his dues and a great deal more!!! 
At least I always thought.
Keeping this Kicked
