I'll end up where I need to be.
-- John Lewis (chapter 1 paragraph Frame three)

Importance: Lewis and others are preparing for Obama's inauguration and someone has just urged him to move to the front of the line, where he is expected to be. Lewis's attitude, that he will end up in the correct place, is symbolic of his fight for equal rights that brought him to this day in history – the day when the first black man is sworn in to the nation's highest office.

-- John Lewis (chapter 1 paragraph Frame four)

That is symbolic of his dedication to the Civil Rights Movement.
