Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

John Lewis uses the metaphor of "walking with the wind" to talk about our role in the world in that it should be the union of the people and the strength that results from this union, what makes us resists the "strongest winds" that affect our society. What his metaphor suggest about what it takes to strengthen communities and make a positive difference in the world is that, as the case of the 15 children that remained united inside that house, people should maintain that unity under the most difficult circumstances because that would be the way to stand in front adversity and defeat it. Congressman John Lewis is one of the most influential African American legislators that supports civil rights.
