At 21, John Lewis was one of the original 13 Freedom Riders. He was beaten for his efforts. At 23, he helped organize and spoke at the March on Washington. At 25, he lead marchers across the Pettus Bridge and was beaten for his efforts. At 30, he began leading the Voter Education Project and helped register 4 million people to vote. At 46, he was elected to Congress for the first time. At 63, he lead protests against the Iraq War. The same year, his years of effort to get funding for a Black Smithsonian museum were realized. At 76, he lead the House Democratic Caucus to sit-in in the Capitol in protest of our failure to address gun violence. And every day between 1961 and now, he has been inspiring others to take action as well. We are never too young or too old to make a difference. More on reddit.com
