This is John L. Lewis, an elected representative from Georgia who was asking to speak to the Occupy Atlanta crowd. He wanted to express his solidarity with them and to support them. Congressman Lewis was a protege of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and had risked his life many times to achieve the blessings of liberty. To be denied the chance to join them is disrespect of highest order and only magnifies the least attractive attributes of protest groups. What is missing is the solidarity with all who are oppressed. I am ashamed of their behavior.
