Despite more than 40 arrests, physical attacks and serious injuries, Rep. Lewis remained a devoted advocate for the philosophy of nonviolence. After leaving SNCC in 1966, he remained active in the civil rights movement through his work as associate director of the Field Foundation and his participation in the Southern Regional Council's voter registration programs. Rep. Lewis went on to become the director of the Voter Education Project (VEP). Under his leadership, the VEP added nearly 4 million minorities to the voter rolls. His first electoral success came in 1981 when he was elected to the Atlanta City Council. This past November, he was elected to his seventh consecutive term in the U.S. House of Representatives. Rep. Lewis co-wrote Walking with the Wind with Michael D'Orso, of Norfolk, Va. The title is based on one of Rep. Lewis's childhood experiences.
