John Lewis Wins Two Creative Loafing Best of Atlanta Awards 2014-09-18 2014 2014-09 Democrat House GA John Lewis L000287 web.archive.org     legacy Rep. John Lewis won kudos in two categories in the Best of Atlanta awards, an innovation of the local Atlanta newspaper Creative Loafing.  The 2014 awards were released today.  The paper said this about Lewis:             "Longtime Atlanta Congressman John Lewis has had a busy year between the 50th anniversary of many Civil Rights Movement milestones and the announcement of the second installment of his bestselling civil rights-themed graphic novel memoir, March. At age 74, he manages to keep getting arrested — his 45th peaceful run-in with the law occurred in October 2013 — and continues to live up to his iconic legacy of nonviolent civil disobedience. In Washington, D.C., the congressman continues to serve his constituents well. He obtained a large affordable housing grant for homeless vets, is backing Georgia’s push for marriage equality and helping to fight controversial judicial nominations. And, of course, his incredible dance moves to the tune of Pharrell Williams’ “Happy” are something to behold."             The newspaper is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, dating back to Lewis's early days in Atlanta as a member of Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee.  Votes are cast by thousands of readers.  Lewis was named Best Local Politician, along with Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, and still holds the title of Best Local Hero.                                                                                     ### 1 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z
