Jonathan Collins, Assistant Professor of Education, shares his experience working as an intern for the late Rep. John Lewis in The Providence Journal. "Before I could even begin to tell him how much I admired him for his courage and sacrifice, I found myself answering questions. He noticed my shirt and asked if I was indeed a Mellon Fellow. He asked about what type of research I was doing; where I was in school; what I wanted to do after. He spoke to me as if I was the important one."
