  • ATLANTA, GA - October 12, 2007: Hillary Clinton speaking after receiving the endorsement of Georgia congressman and civil rights icon John Lewis at Pascals restaurant in Atlanta, Georgia.

  • October 7, 2011 - Atlanta, Georgia: Hundreds of people, including congressman John Lewis,  gathered in Woodruff Park for Occupy Atlanta's first public gathering.<br />
<br />
During the General Assembly meeting at Occupy Atlanta people raise their hands in the air to express agreement or approval of an issue being presented.<br />
<br />
Congressman and civil rights icon John Lewis visited the Occupy Atlanta rally at Woodruff Park  approximately 45 minutes after its planning session, or General Assembly, started. Despite saying he did not want to speak, the civil rights icon was invited to address to the crowd. <br />
<br />
When the topic of allowing Lewis to speak was presented to the group, "Joe" (pictured in red) held up his arms to "block" Lewis from speaking.<br />
<br />
"Joe" said he was against Lewis speaking because the movement is "not about one individual" and that it has been built on the idea of "no hierarchy." The crowd decided the congressman could speak after the General Assembly, but Lewis had to leave for a previous engagement.<br />
<br />
"I support the protesters in New York and here," Lewis told me before leaving Woodruff Park. "It is the right time and the right place to be... It is the will of the people. When I was young we did similar actions. It is grassroots democracy at its best. I think something good will come of the moment."

  • ATLANTA, GA - MARCH 24 , 2011: Congressman and civil rights icon John Lewis shakes hands with protesters outside the Georgia capitol. The rally was against two controversial pieces of legislation aimed at cracking down on illegal immigration.<br />
<br />
Between speeches by immigration advocates, Democratic state lawmakers and religious leaders, the Indigo Girls performed for the large crowd.<br />
<br />
Both the House and Senate have passed their own legislative packages aimed at undocumented immigration. The bills would provide stiff penalties for people who transport or offer aid to undocumented immigrants and give police the authority to check a suspect's immigration status if the officers have "probable cause," among other changes.<br />
<br />
Critics, including civil and human rights groups, say the legislation would severely hinder Georgia industries dependent on migrant labor and likely trigger tourism and product boycotts.

  • ATLANTA, GA - MARCH 24 , 2011: "You must not give up," Representative John Lewis told the thousands of protesters gathered outside the Georgia capitol to loudly oppose two controversial pieces of legislation aimed at cracking down on illegal immigration. "We are all brothers and sisters we are all one family, " Lewis shouted to the cheering crowd. "If anyone of us is illegal we are all illegal. There are no illegal human beings. If any of you get arrested and go to jail I am prepared to go to jail with you. We will get justice in the state of Georgia!"<br />
<br />
Police estimated approximately 6,500 people attended the event. Chanting and holding signs with such messages as "No human is illegal" and "Stop racial profiling," the crowd urged Gov. Nathan Deal to veto whichever bill state lawmakers ultimately approve. <br />
<br />
Between speeches by immigration advocates, Democratic state lawmakers and religious leaders, the Indigo Girls performed for the large crowd. <br />
<br />
Both the House and Senate have passed their own legislative packages aimed at undocumented immigration. The bills would provide stiff penalties for people who transport or offer aid to undocumented immigrants and give police the authority to check a suspect's immigration status if the officers have "probable cause," among other changes.<br />
<br />
Critics, including civil and human rights groups, say the legislation would severely hinder Georgia industries dependent on migrant labor and likely trigger tourism and product boycotts.

<br />
Both the House and Senate have passed their own legislative packages aimed at undocumented immigration. The bills would provide stiff penalties for people who transport or offer aid to undocumented immigrants and give police the authority to check a suspect's immigration status if the officers have "probable cause," among other changes.<br />
<br />
Critics, including civil and human rights groups, say the legislation would severely hinder Georgia industries dependent on migrant labor and likely trigger tourism and product boycotts.

  • ATLANTA, GA - MARCH 24 , 2011: "You must not give up," Representative John Lewis told the thousands of protesters gathered outside the Georgia capitol to loudly oppose two controversial pieces of legislation aimed at cracking down on illegal immigration. "We are all brothers and sisters we are all one family, " Lewis shouted to the cheering crowd. "If anyone of us is illegal we are all illegal. There are no illegal human beings. If any of you get arrested and go to jail I am prepared to go to jail with you. We will get justice in the state of Georgia!"<br />
<br />
Police estimated approximately 6,500 people attended the event. Chanting and holding signs with such messages as "No human is illegal" and "Stop racial profiling," the crowd urged Gov. Nathan Deal to veto whichever bill state lawmakers ultimately approve. <br />
