Posted By: HBCU CONNECT on August 24, 2021 Check out this video from American Baptist College in Nashville, Tennessee! The late Congressman John Lewis came to American Baptist College as a young 17-year-old boy from Troy, Alabama and graduated from American Baptist College with a degree in Theology in 1961, while participating in numerous Civil Rights activities. After Lewis's passing, Barak Obama, for whom Lewis was an inspiration and a hero, called Lewis a man of “unbreakable perseverance” and said that he embodied “that most American of ideas— that idea that any of us ordinary people, without rank or wealth or title or fame, can somehow point out the imperfections of this nation and come together and challenge the status quo and decide that it is in our power to remake this country that we love until it more closely aligns with our highest ideals.” American Baptist College and the city of Nashville will always remember the life and legacy of John Robert Lewis [February 21, 1940 — July 17, 2020].
