Extension Of 1965 Voting Rights Act Gets Bicameral, Bipartis

UNITED STATES - MAY 02: Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and other members listen to Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., speak in front of the U.S. Capitol in a show of unity in support of the bipartisan, bicameral extension of expiring provisions of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Lewis was a key leader of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960's, and endured more than 40 arrests, physical attacks and serious injuries; he remained a devoted advocate of the philosophy of nonviolence.
