(Reuters) - U.S. Representative John Lewis of Georgia endorsed Joe Biden’s presidential campaign on Tuesday, giving the Democrat’s bid further support among the party’s black leadership.

“Joe Biden has no delusion about this nation’s past, but he knows who we can be at our best,” Lewis said in a campaign video announcing his support.

Lewis is known for his activism in the 1960s in support of civil rights for black Americans.

Biden is seeking his party’s nomination to face President Donald Trump in the Nov. 3 election.
