U.S. Rep. John Lewis, center, sits with other Democrats on the House floor as they try to force a vote on gun control measures on Wednesday, June 22. Lewis, a civil-rights icon, launched the protest in the wake of the Orlando nightclub shooting -- the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history. "We have turned deaf ears to the blood of the innocent and the concern of our nation," he said on Facebook. "We will use nonviolence to fight gun violence and inaction." The sit-in ended a day later, after the House GOP swiftly adjourned for a recess, but Lewis said the fight was not over.
