From an article by Rachel Weiner and the watch the video at the Huffington Post:
“Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) and the white man who attacked him during a civil rights protest in 1961 came together to accept… the Common Ground award (which) honors outstanding accomplishments in conflict resolution, negotiation, community building, and peacebuilding.”
Elwin Lewis, the remorseful attacker, told the crowd: “It’s never too late to make things right.”
