Atlanta congressman John Lewis made the speech yesterday, asking for justice for the two black couples lynched in Walton Cty, GA 1946. John Lewis remembers what it was like living in the south in the 1950's:

<i> In 1963, Lewis helped plan and took part in the March on Washington. At the age of 23, he was a keynote speaker at the historic event. In 1965, he led 525 marchers across the Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama. State troopers attacked the marchers in a violent incident that later became known as "Bloody Sunday." </i>

The legislature of the state of Georgia has refused to pass hate crime legislation or to keep track of and report hate crimes to federal crime statisticians. You would be right at home, here, come on down!
