Lewis, who was born on 21 February 1940 in Alabama, became a prominent leader of the civil rights movement in the 1960s. A founding member of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, he became its chair in 1963, and helped organised the March on Washington, when Martin Luther King Jr delivered his “I have a dream” speech.
