He thought of the Black people in Danville, Virginia, living under the heavy baton of a police state of the sharecroppers in the Mississippi Delta, working for starvation wages of the three young men facing the death penalty in Georgia for protesting. On August 28, 1963, Lewis stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial before hundreds of thousands of people, but his mind was on those who could not be there. ![]() ![]() John Lewis believed in the American project and wanted to perfect it. ![]() ![]() But not even the beloved grandmothers can foresee what will happen in the days and months to come.

Yet the title is one that Marcus himself would surely have rejected. And indeed, if we seek Plato’s philosopher-king in the flesh we could hardly do better than Marcus, the ruler of the Roman Empire for almost two decades and author of the immortal Meditations.

States will never be happy until rulers become philosophers or philosophers become rulers. # Introduction by Gregory Hays ↑ # Marcus Aurelius Antoninus ↑ # Chronology ↑ Chronological overview of Roman emperor and philosophers B.C.
