John Lewis on meeting Malcolm X and what the revolutionary leader thought of the March on Washington

John Lewis, the longtime Georgia congressmember, died Friday at age 80. He was one of the foremost leaders of the civil rights movement and spoke at the 1963 March on Washington alongside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. In a 2012 interview with Democracy Now!, Lewis reflected on those days, as well as meeting Malcolm X, the revolutionary Black leader who was assassinated on Lewis’s birthday in 1965. “I think Malcolm played a major role in helping to educate, inform and dramatize the need for mass movement,” Lewis said. “Many did not agree necessarily with his techniques or his tactic. But if Malcolm had lived, I am convinced that he would have been part of the Southern nonviolent wing of the civil rights movement.”
