Just goes to show that the far left does not check facts!
So Lewis was against the million man march?
The NAACP never endorsed Farrakhan?
NAACP backs Farrakhan
See how the far left drones promote others without knowing their background?
John Lewis did not attend the Million Man March, and in fact vocally criticized Farrakhan at the time.
Nor was Lewis invovled with the NAACP in 1994.
Found this in the far left NYTimes:
John Lewis, a Democratic Congressman from Georgia who had been a major figure in the civil rights struggle of the 1960's but who shunned today's march, said he found Mr. Farrakhan's speech one of "moderation."
"He did, near the end of the speech, throw out the olive branch to the Jewish community," said Mr. Lewis, who had led the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. "I thought that was encouraging. And he reached out to established and mainstream organizations and suggested people join them. He appealed to those of us who stayed away. For the most part, it was a speech to the African-American community."
