John Lewis, at age 25 in 1965, led a peaceful march of around 600 from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. At the very beginning of the March, they had to cross the bridge you see in the painting. While crossing, they were met by state troopers on horseback. The troopers charged the marchers beating them with clubs, batons, and rifle buts. Lewis was beaten nearly to death with a cracked skull and concussion. He tried to get up, but was beaten again. This is my painting of John Lewis. He was a gentle giant of our moral compass, who encouraged everyone to stand up and cause some “good trouble.” He’s standing in front of the Edmund Pettus Bridge, Selma, AL
