Draggingtree Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 The Daily Caller: Rep. John Lewis predicts the return of segregation if Romney wins Published: 7:56 PM 09/06/2012 By Neil Munro CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Rep. John Lewis used his Thursday convention speech to argue that a GOP victory in November will send African-Americans back to the early 1960s, when he and other Africans-Americans were forcibly denied access to restaurants, public transportation and the ballot box. “I’ve seen this before, I lived this before,” he claimed, after extensively describing his activism in Southern states in the 1950 and 1960s. “We were met by an angry mob that beat us and left us lying in a pool of blood,” he said to raucous applause from roughly 20,000 delegates and activists. “Brothers and sisters, do you want to go back?” he called, prompted a loud response of “No!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
