Civil rights leader, John Lewis, fought hard for segregated people’s rights throughout the U.S. John Lewis matches Atticus’s definition of courage because despite injury and criticism, Lewis stood courageous for what he believed and spoke out for his people, knowing it could possibly lead to imprisonment or death, discerning he was “licked before he began.” John Lewis fought courageously for human rights in the USA for the black culture, who were strongly discriminated.…
