What a difference a day makes.
On Friday we looked at the misfortune of John Lewis, just a normal guy from Blacksburg, Virginia, who was mistaken for John Lewis, the UK-based retail store.
In case you missed that story, this is John Lewis of Blacksburg, Virginia.
This is Congressman John Lewis, civil rights campaigner.
He gave a speech this weekend at the National Action to Realize the Dream in Washington, marking 50 years since Martin Luther King's speech.
Lewis also gave a speech that day. He was the youngest person to take the podium.
And because of that, people are getting confused again.
We need a march through the south like @johnlewis said, the gerrymandered south. March & register all brothers & sisters!

@joesegal I agree completely, though I think you may have been referring to the wonderful civil rights leader. March on!

/ ViaThrough it all, John Lewis of Virginia has been sanguine about the mistaken identity.
@tom7p It's all good. I'm now being mistaken for the civil rights leader, too. I wish I had @repjohnlewis class and @johnlewisretail money.
