Poster Title: Leadership in Social Justice
Abstract:
From 1940 to 2020, John Lewis stood out during the U.S. civil rights struggle, guiding others through strong beliefs and peaceful resistance. What helped? A firm hold on non-violence as leverage for change, shaped by spiritual conviction and respect for everyone. From crowded rallies to quiet meetings, his presence stirred action across different circles - young organizers, religious figures, even lawmakers. Because of him, landmark bills like the Voting Rights Act became reality in 1965; later, his voice still echoed for those left behind beyond that decade. We look closely at how he led, revealing layers of struggle and change, showing why such moments linger in memory.
