Civil rights icon John Lewis spoke at the 2014 Aspen Ideas Festival where he said, "Speak up. Speak out and get in the way. Get in trouble. Good trouble. Necessary trouble. That's what I've been doing for more than fifty years and I will continue to do it."

The Georgia congressman spoke about his book, "March: Book 1" with Gwen Ifill of the PBS Newshour. Book 2 comes out this month. John Lewis is an important character in the new movie, "Selma."
