Jewish High Holidays

Yom Kippur - Day of Atonement

I have stood at Sachsenhausen, a former concentration camp, and felt too afraid to move, too afraid to breathe for fear of disturbing the memory of those who suffered within its walls.

John Lewis - 1940 - 2020

The son of sharecroppers, John Lewis was born on February 1, 1940 near Troy, Alabama. Growing up in the Jim Crow era South, Lewis attended segregated schools, passed by segregated lunch counters, pools, buses and more. He became inspired by Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, and indeed first came to their attention when he announced his intent to desegregate Troy State College (now Troy University.) His worried parents dissuaded him however, and instead he enrolled at the American Baptist Theological University, where he was ordained a Baptist Minister and Fisk University, where he received a B.A. in Philosophy and Religion in 1967.
