Thanks ahead of time.

It depends on what you wanted to buy, I suppose. A gallon of gas was 26.9 cents, but cars were less fuel efficient. It cost 4 cents to mail a letter, which probably took a week to arrive, and e-mail didn't exist as an alternative. A 12 ounce soda was

Rep. John Lewis helps memorialize African-American history

16.10.11

Student organizer John Lewis made history in August 1963 when he, at 23, was the youngest speaker at the March on Washington, where the late Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech.

Today, at 71, Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., is a keeper of history, a lawmaker whose fingerprints are on some of the nation's most significant tributes and monuments to the contributions of African-Americans to American culture.

"I think it's important for people to know the whole story and the full story of America for generations yet unborn," Lewis said. He's the sole surviving speaker from the Aug. 28, 1963, march. "It's important to leave these museums, these little pieces of history, to inspire, inform and educate unborn generations."

Lewis, a civil rights icon who was badly beaten during marches and demonstrations in the 1960s, co-wrote the legislation that authorized the Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial, which opened in August and will be dedicated officially Sunday.
