- Description:
- Printed on negative envelope: "Lewis, John 10-11-82 Jillson" Caption: "The Cover- Atlanta Councilman John Lewis is unique among black leaders, according to staff writer Russ Rymer, who interviewed dozens of local politicians and former civil rights activists while researching this week's cover story. 'Lewis is probably the only person who came out of the civil rights movement with no enemies,' Rymer says. For a person with no emenies, however, Lewis has created plenty of controversy during his first year in public office. 'He's become a central player on the council, not only because of his statue as a civil rights hero but because of his penchant for voting his conscience,' Rymer says. 'Unlike other politicians, Lewis speaks and acts with an openness that is almost innocent. He seems incapable of guile.' Cover photograph by Floyd Jillson"
