- Description:
- Printed on assignment sheet: "City Council member John Lewis, left, who marked his last day to serve on the Council today, receives congratulations for his service from Hosea Williams, right, also a City Council member. John is leaving to join the 5th District race for Congress. Earlier, Hosea Williams spoke a tribute to John at a council meeting. He said he finds it ironic that they ended up serving on the same city council especially considering that John had been beaten by Alabama State Troopers and High Sheriff Jim Clark's posse in Selma, Alabama during the Bloody March across the Edmon Petus Bridge there. That was on March 7, 1965 when John was heading SNCC, Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and Hosea was with SCLC. 1986-06-02. Photo by Dwight Ross Jr."
