When police and angry critics closed in during another sit-in at the Walgreens on Fifth Avenue, Lewis sat and wrote a sermon.
Lewis became the face of a yearlong movement to desegregate the lunch counters in downtown Nashville, which refused to serve Black customers. He returned again and again with throngs of college students, using nonviolent protests to demand respect and racial equity. ....
