Politics: Greatness Can Come With Humility

I am fascinated by the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960's. One of Dr Kings closest aides was a young man called John Lewis. John Lewis was a freedom rider and helped organise the historic marches from Selma to Montgomery.

Despite being bruised and bloodied he continued and continues to believe in the power of non-violent demonstration.

Always an ardent Clinton supporter, he switched his allegiance to Barack Obama. In this interview on MSNBC he explains why.
