the story of Mamie "Peanut" Johnson. A female pitcher in the Negro Leagues? This is why I love DU (SOMETIMES). 
Oh, there's my boy John Lewis," says one of the kids, pointing out the image on the small museum screen of a man being clubbed.
Each hit Lewis takes feels personal to them. Just a week earlier, they'd met the civil rights leader-turned-congressman in his Washington, D.C. office.
"I would fight back," says a second teen.
"But then they'd kill you and your family," the first one answers, eyes wide with concern.

What a wonderful history lesson for these aspiring teens.
