The bill, sponsored by Alabama state Rep. Prince Chestnut (D), recognizes Lewis’s leadership in the civil rights movement, including his role as one of the 13 original Freedom Riders who participated in protests against the segregation of public bus terminals.
The bill also recounts Lewis s service as “Chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), and his leadership of over 600 peaceful protestors across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma where he was brutally attacked by Alabama State Troopers on March 7, 1965, a day known as Bloody Sunday.”
Michael Starr Hopkins, founder of the John Lewis Bridge Project, commended the bill’s passing in a statement, saying the bill moved the state “one step closer to ensuring the legacy of John Lewis will live on for generations.”
