John Lewis to lead Charlotte march to polls for Clinton on ThursdayBY RONNIE GLASSBERG NOVEMBER 1, 2016 5:07 PM
U.S. Rep. John Lewis will be in Charlotte on Thursday to support Democrat Hillary Clinton and lead a march to the polls.
Lewis, a Georgia Democrat, withstood violence and arrest during the civil rights marches in Alabama in the mid-1960s. He also served as chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.

Since I'm living in the Deep South too, I can only wish this stuff happened here, but there's just no impetus for an overwhelmingly Republican population to march to our polls. So I'll just have to watch and admire.
