Write a 200 word response to the interview. What are your thoughts/feelings about what Congressman Lewis says about our current society? What do you think he means when he says "maybe the larger society should take a lesson from the civil rights movement"? What was it like, hearing him talk about some of the times/places/events we've studied, like the Edmund Pettus Bridge and the Voting Rights Act?
