Wearing the scars of our battles
Courtland Cox, a former colleague of Lewis from the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) was quoted as saying: “People who think of John as cuddly and all of that, I say I want to see how many of them would be fierce enough to deal with the pervasiveness of segregation and stand up to it when standing up meant you got your ass kicked.”
Lewis wore the literal scars from the beatings he endured as a badge of honor. For him, the scars were a reminder of what he had been through and receipts for the dues he paid for freedom.
