Little Known Fun Fact: John Lewis Edition

John Lewis
Little Known Fun Fact

Did you know that John Lewis was once denied a library card at his local public library as a child — and decades later, he returned there as a U.S. Congressman to get one? 📚

That moment, small as it seems, tells the whole story of who he was: a man who turned pain into purpose, who believed education and dignity should belong to everyone, and who never stopped showing up for what was right.

He often said, “Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.” — and he lived those words every single day.

✨ Honor his legacy this month by sharing your own “good trouble” moment — big or small — and help keep the spirit of John Lewis alive.
