The tip of the spear for the Civil Rights Movement, John Lewis put his body on the line over and over.
His mugshots tell the story: a young man arrested again and again for insisting that America live up to its own promises. As SNCC chairman, he was on the frontlines—Freedom Rides, Selma, marches that met fists and batons. Each arrest wasn’t defeat; it was testimony.
Lewis called it “good trouble”—the kind that makes justice unavoidable. Beaten on the Edmund Pettus Bridge, he rose, again and again, into a lifetime of service. His mugshots are not just records of defiance—they’re portraits of a man who believed that conscience was worth bruises, jail time, even blood.
