Two African-American Democratic congressmembers, John Lewis of Georgia and Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, say they will not attend the opening of a new civil rights museum in Jackson, Mississippi, in protest of President Trump’s planned attendance Saturday. In a joint statement, the lawmakers said, “President Trump’s disparaging comments about women, the disabled, immigrants, and National Football League players disrespect the efforts of Fannie Lou Hamer, Aaron Henry, Medgar Evers, Robert Clark, James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, Michael Schwerner, and countless others who have given their all for Mississippi to be a better place.”
