over Bernie Sanders before the COVID-19 virus prompted more than a dozen states, including Lewis’ Georgia, to delay their primaries.
Perhaps the most visible living representatives of black Americans’ civil rights struggle, Lewis was one of the original Freedom Riders. The group rode buses through the segregated South in the early 1960s to challenge Jim Crow laws. They were beaten at multiple bus stations along the way. In March 1965, Lewis was among those battered and gassed by authorities on Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama, as they tried to march to the Capitol in Montgomery.
As a first-term U.S. senator from Delaware, Biden pushed for the extension of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which had been adopted after Lewis’ marches. Biden fought against redlining — banking standards that made it difficult, if not impossible, for black families to secure mortgages in white neighborhoods. But Biden also was a leading critic of court-ordered busing to force integration of public schools.
Nodding to the party’s diversity, Biden has promised his administration would “look like the country.” He’s committed to nominate a black woman to the Supreme Court upon his first vacancy. He’s pledged to“It would be good to have a woman of color” as vice president, Lewis said, stopping short of saying he expects such a move.
Well that’s disappointing.
