- Jim_Letherer abstract "James M. Letherer (December 30, 1933 - December 18, 2001), born and died in Saginaw, Michigan, better known as Jim Letherer, was an American Jewish civil rights activist. He walked on crutches the entire 54 miles of the 1965 Selma to Montgomery march for voting rights, and in 1966 walked with Martin Luther King, Jr. in James Meredith's Mississippi March Against Fear. Letherer lost his right leg to cancer when he was ten years old. Letherer has received honors by the Selma to Montgomery Interpretive Center Museum in Alabama, which hosts a life-size statue of the amputee.With a big heart and a tenacious spirit, he trooped with King and fellow marchers in many a Deep South protest despite having lost his right leg to cancer. During the 1965 Selma to Montgomery march, Letherer – who used crutches – helped keep spirits high by unswervingly shouting out cadence for his remaining leg, by chanting, \"Left, left, left!\" He received mention and a verse in a book by Pete Seeger:There was a guy named Jim Letherer who had one leg. He went all the way. There was a picture of us in the N. Y. Times and it said something about the last leg of the march. Jim said, \"Hey Len, make me a verse.\" — Len ChandlerLetherer was involved with a march to aid cancer research in 1984, and in 1985 he joined the 20-year reunion of the Selma to Montgomery march participants in Selma, Alabama.".
