Rep. John Lewis Arrested

If you were at The Rescue on Saturday, you probably saw John Lewis, the congressional representative for Atlanta's fifth district.

Well, his support of peace in the African Great Lakes region didn't stop there.

Rep. Lewis and five other members of Congress were arrested during a protest in support of the Save Darfur Coalition. In a bold act of civil disobedience, the congressmen crossed a police line at the Sudanese embassy and refused to move.

Link.

Shalom,
Drew
