quote:Rep. John Lewis, the sharecroppers' son who battled against segregation — getting his head bashed by an Alabama state trooper in Selma on "Bloody Sunday" 1965 — and later became a 17-term congressman from Georgia, has died. He was 80.
He died Friday, his family said. He was diagnosed with cancer in December.
