Greg Landsman, a U.S. Congressman representing Ohio's 1st district since 2023, has shared several insights on his social media platform regarding significant historical and contemporary issues. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1976, Landsman has been actively engaging with topics related to civil rights and community solidarity.

On March 7, 2025, Congressman Landsman highlighted the enduring impact of John Lewis' legacy by stating "60 years later, the work isn’t done. John Lewis' march across the bridge left us a legacy that includes the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act." This remark underscores the ongoing struggle for voting rights and honors the contributions of civil rights leaders.

In another post from March 7, 2025, Landsman reflected on historical legislative achievements by mentioning "The marches played a major role in passing the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which eliminated racial discrimination in voting. It banned literacy tests and other unfair practices, symbolizing a major legislative victory for Black Americans." His comments serve as a reminder of past victories against racial discrimination in voting practices.

On March 8, 2025, Congressman Landsman addressed contemporary issues related to hate groups by noting "The organizers of this rally should appreciate that the Neo Nazis they are protesting hate Jews and Black people - and they certainly don’t care what any of us believe. These Neo Nazis are coming for us both, and the bond between the Jewish Community and the Black Community..." This statement emphasizes solidarity among communities facing hatred and discrimination.
