Democrats End Gun Control Sit-In After More Than 24 Hours on House Floor | 23 June 2016 | Civil rights icon and Georgia Rep.

While they failed to get the Republicans to vote on two controversial gun control bills, Lewis said they got the point across to the American people…The defiant Democrats blended civil rights era nonviolent resistance with modern social media to amplify their cause and used their cell phones to get their message out even after the Republicans cut off the TV cameras recording the unfolding drama on the chamber floor.
