Legacy of Congressman John Lewis lives on, say local activists, NAACP chair
The legacy of Congressman John Lewis, the last of the civil rights icons, will live on across the country, including right here in San Antonio as local groups work to fight for voting rights. Were beginning to see the need to fight those battles again and thats most regrettable, said Dr. Gregory Hudspeth, the chair of the local NAACP chapter. The same type of battles that Hudspeth said he remembers his father took on in the 1950's and 1960's. We were able to honor his memory, honor his legacy by doing what he called, creating good trouble, Clark said. They are everybody who has decided that this is bigger than themselves and that they want to help.RELATED: Civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis lies in state at Capitol
