class="dark-link perm_post"> Ég hef alltaf sagt: "Hrafaðu sjálfan þig, taktu sjálfan þig." Ég myndi segja konunni minni og segja: „Sérhver barátta er ekki þín barátta. Og ég myndi segja það við unga fólkið og aðra einhvern tíma: "Ekki flýta þér. Barátta okkar er ekki barátta sem varir í einn dag, eina viku, einn mánuð eða eitt ár eða eitt líf. Þetta er viðvarandi barátta."</p><p> <b>Tippett:</b> Svo, þolinmæði - rétt, já.</p><p> <b>Lewis:</b> Og í ræðu göngunnar í Washington var ég með mikla orðræðu og á endanum vissi ég innra með mér að þetta yrði langur vegur og ég trúi því. En þú breytir ekki heiminum, samfélaginu, á nokkrum dögum og það er betra. Það er betra að vera flugmaður en að vera flugeldur <em>[hlær]</em> .</p><p> <b>Tippett:</b> Rétt.</p><p> <b>Lewis:</b> Vegna þess að ef þú ert flugmaður, ertu að fara að vera til. Eldsprengja kemur inn í þig, farðu bara af stað. Þú ert hér eina augnablikið og þú ert farinn á þeirri næstu.</p><p> [ <em>tónlist: "Po' Pilgrim of Sorrow" eftir James Horner & Sweet Honey in the Rock</em> ]</p><p> <b>Tippett:</b> Ég er Krista Tippett og þetta er <em>On Being</em> . Í dag minnumst þingmannsins og borgararéttindagoðsögnarinnar John Lewis sem lést í síðustu viku. Ég hafði þann mikla heiður að tala við hann í Montgomery, Alabama árið 2013 - sem hluti af þverpólitískri borgararéttindapílagrímsferð sem hann leiddi í mörg ár.</p><p> <b>Tippett:</b> Heyrirðu í mér? Þó það sé skapandi spenna hér, þá er það lína sem þú ert að ganga.</p><p> <b>Lewis:</b> Já.</p><p> <b>Tippett:</b> Og það hljómar eins og þegar ég les sögu hreyfingarinnar, þá gangi þú og aðrir fram og til baka yfir þá línu allan tímann. En það var að halda, eins og þú segir, hraða, einhvern veginn alltaf að geta dregið sig til baka og séð langdvölina, býst ég við. Það er þessi afstaða, það er þessi afstaða.</p><p> <b>Lewis:</b> En við vildum binda enda á mismunun núna. Við vildum að fólk gæti skráð sig og kosið núna. Og við höfðum slagorð sem heitir „Frelsi núna“. En til að gefa einhvers konar byltingarkennd áhrif, það myndi taka miklu lengri tíma þegar þú ert fær um að breyta um huga og hjörtu og sálir fólks.</p><p> <b>Tippett:</b> Hvernig flæða þessi reynsla, þessi gildi sem þú lærðir, inn í líf þitt í stjórnmálum á okkar tímum?</p><p> <b>Lewis:</b> Jæja, ég held að í dag sé ég miklu betri manneskja og miklu betri manneskja. Einhvern tíma þegar ég sit á gólfinu í húsinu eða á nefndarfundi, þá finnst mér eins og ég segi einhvern tímann, þú veist, ég fór svona einu sinni áður. Þú veist, ef ég væri aftur í Nashville eða í Georgíu í mótmælum eða kannski í frelsisferð, hvað myndum við gera? Hvað myndi Martin Luther King Jr segja? Hvað myndi Gandhi gera? Þannig að þú getur ekki gefist upp á ákveðnum grundvallarreglum og grunnkenningum.</p><p> <b>Tippett:</b> Ég held að enginn myndi saka þingið núna um að vera ástsælt samfélag.</p><p> <b>Lewis:</b> Jæja, ég held að við eigum nokkra fjarlægð frá því að verða hið ástsæla samfélag, en ég mun ekki gefast upp á þinginu. Og það er von mín að þegar þingmenn koma í ferðalög og ferðalög og pílagrímsferð, þá læri þeir eitthvað, að það vaxi og verði betri meðlimir og betri manneskjur.</p><p> <b>Tippett:</b> Þú veist, sumir af róttæku hliðunum á þessari hefð án ofbeldis sem þú varst gegnsýrður af, sem þú færð nú til lífsins sem þingmaður - hér er eitthvað sem ég las í bók þinni, að eftir eldsprengjuárásina á Birmingham kirkjunni þar sem fjórar litlar stúlkur voru drepnar, þar sem ég naut þeirra forréttinda að vera með þér þessa helgi, sagði séra King: „Stundum eins og hörðu er lífið í myrkri. á þessari stundu megum við ekki missa trúna á hvítu bræður okkar.“ Þú veist, þessi mjög krefjandi hugmynd, ekki bara um að hafa trú á sjálfum þér eða trú á hreyfingu þína, heldur trú á óvini þína.</p><p> <b>Lewis:</b> Þú verður að trúa og þú getur aldrei, aldrei, gefist upp á neinum möguleika. Það er hluti af því, eins og ég sagði, frá upphafi. Það er þegar búið. Þú verður bara að finna leið til að gera það raunverulegt.</p><p> <b>Tippett:</b> Ég man þegar þú skrifar um að vera nemandi og kynnast heimi heimspeki og guðfræði og lesa um hugmyndina um díalektíkina og hugsa um aðskilnað sem ritgerð og baráttuna gegn aðskilnaði sem andstæðu og samþættingu sem myndun, endalokin. Ég velti því fyrir þér hvernig þú sérð það núna, því byrjar díalektíkin upp á nýtt og hvað …</p><p> <b>Lewis:</b> Jæja, ég held að það sé ekki nauðsynlegt að byrja upp á nýtt. En ég átti frábæran kennara þegar ég var í American Baptist College. Hann hét John Lewis Powell og byrjaði að ræða þessa hugmynd um ritgerðina og andstæðuna og samsetninguna og hann hljóp um töfluna og skrifaði og hoppaði.</p><p> Það er það sem baráttan hefur snúist um, að koma þessum samkeppnisöflum saman, færa manneskjur saman og skapa samfélagstilfinningu, að skapa þessa fjölskyldutilfinningu, að út úr því góða - hið góða er þegar til staðar. Ástin er til staðar. Hvernig gerir þú það raunverulegt? Hvernig málarðu myndina? Þetta er eins og listamaður sem notar striga. Hvernig færðu fólk til að flytja frá kannski A til B og þú færð C? Eða frá einum í tvo og fá þrjá? Að þú sért á leiðinni og þú verður að vera samkvæmur og þú verður að vera þrautseigur.</p><p> <b>Tippett:</b> Og þolinmóður.</p><p> <b>Lewis:</b> Og þolinmóður.</p><p> <b>Tippett:</b> Rétt.</p><p> <b>Lewis:</b> Og þetta snýst allt um að vera trúr, vera heiðarlegur, vera opinn.</p><p> <b>Tippett:</b> Það er svo ljóst með hvert afrek mannkyns og vissulega með borgararéttindahreyfingunni að svo miklar mikilvægar breytingar, góðar breytingar, urðu og samt er enn miklu meira verk að vinna. Ófyrirséðir fylgikvillar birtast, áföll birtast, að jafnvel allt það besta sem við gerum eru ófullkomnir og ófullkomnir. Hvernig hugsar þú um það og hvar hreyfingin er í trú þinni?</p><p> <b>Lewis:</b> Jæja, ég hugsa um það, en þú verður að trúa því að það geti verið áföll, það gæti verið vonbrigði, það gæti verið truflun. En aftur, þú verður að líta langa, harða útlitið. Með þessari trú verður þetta allt í lagi; það á eftir að ganga upp. Ef það myndi ekki gerast á ævi þinni, þá kannski, ekki kannski, en það myndi gerast á ævi einhvers. En þú verður að gera allt sem þú getur gert á meðan þú ert í þessu rými á þínum tíma. Og stundum finnst mér ég ekki vera að gera nóg til að reyna að hvetja aðra kynslóð fólks til að finna leið til að koma í veg fyrir, gera vandræði, gott vandræði. Ég geri bara smá hávaða.</p><p> <b>Tippett:</b> Ég held að þú hafir hlutina sem þú talar og að við fylgjumst jafn mikið með þér og heyrum þig. Þú hreyfir fæturna <em>[hlær]</em> . Svo, John Lewis, ég vil þakka þér kærlega fyrir lífið sem þú hefur lifað og fyrir þetta samtal sem við höfum getað átt við þig síðdegis í dag.</p><p> <b>Lewis:</b> Jæja, þakka þér kærlega fyrir. Ég naut þess. Þakka þér fyrir.</p><p> [ <em>tónlist: "I'm Gonna Live the Life I Sing About" eftir RL Knowles</em> ]</p><p> <b>Tippett:</b> John Lewis lést í Atlanta í Georgíu 17. júlí 2020, 80 ára að aldri. Hann var þingmaður demókrata frá 5. hverfi Georgíu.
