Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, in his speech, we notice that Barrack Obama gave practical ways in which John Lewis contributed to America quest for racial freedom, Obama said,

"he embraced the principles of nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience as the means to bring about real change in this country, understanding that such tactics had the power not only to change laws, but to change hearts and minds as well."

He further said,

"John got a taste of jail for the first, second, third -- well, several times. But he also got a taste of victory. And it consumed him with righteous purpose. And he took the battle deeper into the South."
