ATLANTA—Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) announced Sunday that he has stage IV pancreatic cancer, vowing he will keep serving and fight the disease.
Lewis, the youngest and last survivor of the Big Six civil rights activists in a group once led by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., said in a statement that the cancer was detected earlier this month during a routine medical visit.
