John Lewis on purported snub: It reminded me of SNCC

[Enrique]

SNCC operated by consensus as well, and I'd be willing to bet a lot of their meetings would have looked pointless to outsiders.

"As a veteran of the Civil Rights Movement, Congressman Lewis is very familiar with the dynamics of protest, and he respects the right of protesters to choose to follow their own pre-organized agenda. He is not concerned or offended in any way by what happened Friday. In fact, the group's process reminded him very much of SNCC, so he was not disturbed at all by what happened."
