 Jim Clyburn of South Carolina is the House assistant Democratic leader and something of a civil rights icon himself. He recalled meeting John Lewis back when they were 19-year-old college students, as Lewis said, fighting to get off the back of the bus and into voting lines. Clyburn says he hopes with the introduction of the bill, or rather its reintroduction, Republicans will now find it in their hearts to vote for it. But first, they need to agree to bring it up for a vote.
