Born May 13, 1914 in Lafayette, Alabama
[Died] April 12, 1981, Las Vegas, Nevada Joe Louis. American professional boxer. Real name Joseph Louis Barrow. Nicknamed the "Brown Bomber" for his accurate and efficient punches, he was the world heavyweight champion from June 22, 1937, when he defeated James Braddock in the eighth round by knockout in Chicago until his retirement on March 1, 1949. During his long reign, he successfully defended the title 25 times in a row (21 of which were by knockout), making him the record holder for the most title defenses in all weight classes. Born to a cotton-picking sharecropper, he moved to Detroit at the age of 12 and began boxing. He had a successful amateur record of 50 wins and 4 losses, winning the Golden Gloves in 1934. He turned professional that same year, fought his first bout on July 4, and within a year defeated world heavyweight champion Primo Carnera. In 1936, he was knocked out by German professional boxer Max Schmeling. Two years later, in 1938, the same fight was celebrated by the media as a battle between American democracy and German Nazism (Schmeling himself was not a Nazi), but Lewis won by knockout in the first round and became a national hero, loved for his sportsmanlike demeanor, humble personality, and gentle manner. He reached his peak from 1939 to 1942, and successfully defended his title seven times between December 1940 and June 1941. In 1942, he joined the U.S. Army and was assigned to the black unit along with future major leaguer Jackie Robinson. Although he did not fight in actual combat, he fought 96 exhibition matches in front of a total of 2 million soldiers and donated more than $100,000 to the Army-Navy Relief Fund. After World War II, he had no notable achievements, and retired as an undefeated champion in 1949. He fought a comeback match on September 27, 1950 to repay his debts, but lost by decision to champion Ezzard Charles, and the following year, on October 26, 1951, his final professional match against Rocky Marciano was also KO'd in the eighth round. His professional record was 68 wins (54 KOs) and 3 losses in 71 fights. He continued to be plagued by debt after his retirement, and worked as a professional wrestler and as a hostess at a resort hotel in Las Vegas. He was buried in Arlington National Cemetery, and Schmeling attended his funeral. He was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 1982. He was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1990. Also in Detroit, the home stadium (1979-2017) of the local NHL ice hockey team, the Detroit Red Wings, was named Joe Louis Arena, and in 1986 a monument depicting Lewis' clenched right arm was erected downtown.

Lewis, John L. Born February 12, 1880, near Lucas, Iowa
[Died] June 11, 1969, Washington, DC
John L. Lewis. American labor movement leader. Full name John Llewellyn Lewis. President of the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) from 1920 to 1960, and first president of the Congress of Industrial Unions (CIO) from 1936 to 1940. Born as the eldest son of immigrant miners from Wales, he left school in the seventh grade and began working in the mines at age 15. He became the UMWA branch chief in a coal mine in Panama, Illinois, and in 1911 he became the coordinator of the American Federation of Labor (AFL), of which the UMWA was a member. In 1917 he became vice president of the UMWA, in 1919 he became acting president, and in 1920 he became president of the UMWA, which had grown into the largest labor union in the United States at the time. The 1933 National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA), enacted while President Franklin D. Roosevelt was promoting the New Deal, granted workers the right to collective bargaining. This gave the UMWA an opportunity to expand its influence, involving workers in the Appalachian coalfields and tripling its membership within a few years. Following the enactment of the Wagner Act (National Labor Relations Act) in 1935, the UMWA formed the Committee for Industrial Organization to organize workers in mass production industries such as automobiles and electrical appliances, but came into conflict with the AFL leadership over the expansion policy, and left the organization with seven union leaders. In 1936, the UMWA formed the new CIO and became its president. The UMWA later became more radical, and in 1936, the UMWA led a sit-in strike against General Motors, convincing many unskilled workers that "one shop, one union" was effective. Lewis was a Republican supporter, but supported Roosevelt, the Democrat, in the presidential elections of 1932 and 1936. However, he opposed Roosevelt's third term, and after he was elected, he resigned as president of the CIO and withdrew the UMWA from the CIO, which supported the war, in 1942. In the 1940s, the miners' strikes that Lewis led drew public criticism, leading to the enactment of laws restricting the power of labor unions, such as the Smith-Connally Anti-Strike Act of 1943 (War Labor Disputes Act) and the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947. In the 1950s, Lewis worked on mechanizing mining, which led to increased productivity and benefits for the union. After retiring as president of the UMWA, he served as chairman of the UMWA's Benefits and Retirement Fund. Lewis's eloquence, delivered from his distinctive appearance with bulging eyebrows and bulldog-like cheeks, was peppered with literary quotations and sometimes included harsh criticism. Lewis
Lewes, George Henry Born: April 18, 1817, London
[died] 28 November 1878, London. George Henry Lewes. British biographer, literary critic, playwright, novelist, philosopher, actor, scientist, and editor. He is also known for his decades-long relationship with Mary Ann Evans, known as George Eliot. After various educational pursuits, he spent two years in Germany before returning to London in 1840. He wrote frequently for various magazines over the next decade, and in the early 1840s, through his correspondence with John Stuart Mill, he became acquainted with the positivist philosophy of Auguste Comte, the founder of sociology. In 1850, together with his friend Thornton Leigh Hunt, he founded the radical weekly The Leader, which featured literary and theatrical articles. His book Comte's Philosophy of the Sciences (1853) was originally serialized in this magazine. In his private life, he married Hunt in 1841 and lived with Hunt and two other couples. Although things were going well at first, Lewis' wife gave birth to Hunt's two children, and he became estranged from her in 1851, when the second child was born. In the same year, he met Evans, but the couple lived happily until Lewis' death in 1854, without a legal divorce, because Lewis had once tolerated his wife's infidelity. Lewis's educational novel Ranthorpe, published in 1847, portrayed the moral and intellectual growth of a young writer, and in 1855, he published a two-volume book entitled Life and Works of Goethe, which is still a valuable introduction to the poet today. As a scientist, he published Seaside Studies (1858), Physiology of Common Life (2 volumes, 1859-60), Studies in Animal Life (1862), Studies on Aristotle (1864), and, perhaps his most ambitious work, Problems of Life and Mind (5 volumes, 1873-79). He also edited the Fortnightly Review in 1865-66, to which he contributed articles on science, politics, and literary criticism. A versatile writer and a thinker who was well versed in a variety of fields, Luce contributed greatly to the development of empirical metaphysics, and his treatment of mental phenomena in relation to social and historical conditions led to major advances in psychology.

Lewis, C.S. Born: November 29, 1898 in Belfast, Ireland
[Died] November 22, 1963, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England
CS Lewis. Irish-born British literary scholar and author. Full name Clive Staples Lewis. He wrote about 40 books, many of which were Christian theological works such as The Screwtape Letters (1942) and Mere Christianity (1952), but he is best known for the children's book series The Chronicles of Narnia (7 volumes, 1950-56), which became a fantasy classic. Lewis grew up in Belfast, Ireland (now Northern Ireland, UK) in an education-conscious family and enjoyed reading from an early age. After serving in France for a time during World War I, he enrolled at Oxford University and achieved excellent results, serving as a fellow and associate lecturer at Magdalen College from 1925 to 1954. He then served as professor of medieval and renaissance English literature at Cambridge University from 1954 to 1963. He was an atheist until his twenties, but with the encouragement of his close friend JRR Tolkien, he began to believe in Christianity in 1931. His first successful novel was Out of the Silent Planet (1938), which formed a trilogy with Perelandra (1943) and That Hideous Strength (1945). He also became known for his essays and book reviews, and The Allegory of Love (1936) is a masterpiece that discusses courtly love in medieval literature and established Lewis' position as a leading scholar of English literature. His other works include A Preface to Paradise Lost (1942) and Studies of Words (1960). The Chronicles of Narnia is a series that includes six additional stories from The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, published in 1950. Lewis's final work of fiction, which is considered his masterpiece, is Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold (1956). This work tells the story of Cupid (Eros) and Psyche from the perspective of Psyche's sister, Oryal. Lewis
Lewis, Sinclair Born: February 7, 1885, Sauk Centre, Minnesota, USA
[Died] January 10, 1951. Near Rome, Italy. Sinclair Lewis. American novelist and social critic. Full name Harry Sinclair Lewis. A popular author who used broad-mindedness and satire to attack the self-satisfaction of Americans, he was the first American to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1930. After graduating from Yale University in 1907, he worked for newspapers and publishers while writing stories for boys. In 1914, he published his first novel, Our Mr. Wrenn, which was well-received but had few readers. He later had success writing magazine stories for The Saturday Evening Post and Cosmopolitan, but he never gave up on his dream of becoming a serious writer, and his literary fame began with Main Street, published in 1920. This novel is modeled on Lewis' hometown of Sauk Centre and depicts the town's language, customs, and social life through the eyes of Carol Kennicott, a girl from the eastern part of the country who marries a doctor in the town of Gopher Prairie, Minnesota. A satire of both the people who live in a typical American rural town and the shallow intellectualism that despises them, this work is not just a novel, but has also become a textbook for learning about American provincialism. In 1922, he wrote Babbitt, a businessman whose individuality is sucked away by the Rotary Club and his professional ideals, and in 1925, he wrote Arrowsmith (for which he declined the Pulitzer Prize), a scientist who fights against commercialism. In 1927, he released Elmer Gantry, which caused controversy by depicting a greedy and lecherous pastor who becomes the leader of the Methodist sect, and Dodsworth, which was released in 1929, about a factory owner and his wife who are awakened to tradition and the arts during a trip to Europe. After the 1930s, he released many works, including Ann Vickers (1933), which has a female social activist as the protagonist, It Can't Happen Here (1935), which deals with the threat of fascism and was performed in 1936, Kingsblood Royal (1947), which dealt with racial issues, and his last full-length work, World So Wide (1951), but he did not receive the same acclaim as he had in the 1920s. In his later years, he spent more time abroad, his second marriage failed, and he began to drink more. Lewis
Lewis, Wyndham Born November 18, 1882, near Amherst, Nova Scotia, Canada
[Died] March 7, 1957, London, England. Percy Wyndham Lewis. British painter, novelist, and critic. Full name: Percy Wyndham Lewis. Founder of the Vorticist movement, which explored the relationship between art, literature, and industrial processes. Born on a yacht near Amherst, Canada, Lewis moved to England with his mother around 1893. He was awarded a scholarship to study at the Slade School of Art in London at the age of 16, but left after three years and went to Paris to study painting and attend lectures at the Sorbonne. During his time in Paris, he became interested in Cubism and Expressionism. He returned to England in 1908, and created paintings that incorporated aspects of both movements, as well as writing satirical stories. By 1913, he had developed a style of painting that combined abstract and geometric forms with references to machine civilization and urban architecture. This style was named Vorticism, based on Lewis' belief that the energy of modern society could be observed from a stationary point at the center of a spiral. In 1914, together with poet Ezra Pound and sculptor Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, Lewis published the avant-garde art magazine Blast (until 1915), and the designs published in the magazine were influenced by Imagist poetry. In 1915, he published his first novel, Tarr, in which he slammed pseudo-artists, and since then, he relentlessly attacked the inferior art, literature, and politics of modern popular society. In the 1920s and 1930s, he attracted attention not only for his artwork but also for his writing, publishing the critique Time and Western Man (1927), the novel The Apes of God (1930), and the critique Men Without Art (1934). However, despite publishing his greatest work of his life, he began to be shunned by publishers due to his inclination towards fascism and his defamation lawsuits, and he began to struggle financially. In 1939, he and his wife travelled to the United States, where he gave lectures and painted portraits. After World War II, he wrote art criticism for the BBC magazine The Listener until 1951, when he lost his sight, and introduced young artists such as Michael Ayrton and Francis Bacon, who later became famous.

Lewis, Meriwether Born August 18, 1774, near Charlottesville, Virginia
[Died] October 11, 1809. Near Nashville, Tennessee. Meriwether Lewis. American explorer. Together with William Clark, he led the Lewis and Clark Expedition, which crossed the unexplored interior of America to the Pacific coast of the northwest from 1804 to 1806. He grew up on his family's plantation, Locust Hill, near the home of Thomas Jefferson in Virginia. After his father was killed in battle during the American Revolutionary War, he moved to Georgia, where his mother had remarried, but returned to Virginia in 1792 and began managing Locust Hill under his uncle. In 1794, he served as a militiaman to put down the Whiskey Rebellion in Pennsylvania. In 1795, he joined the regular army, and was promoted to lieutenant in 1799 and captain in 1800. In 1801, he became President Jefferson's private secretary and military attaché. In 1803, he was appointed as the leader of an expedition to explore the newly acquired French territory of Louisiana (Louisiana Purchase). From 1804 to 1806, he led the Lewis and Clark Expedition, which he organized with his close friend Clark, down the Ohio River, up the Missouri River, across the Continental Divide, into the Pacific Ocean, and back, covering a distance of 13,000 km in 28 months. During the expedition, also known as the Corps of Discovery, Lewis recorded his findings on the botany, zoology, meteorology, geography, and ethnology of the region, and collected various specimens. He also explored the river systems and fur resources of the West with Clark, and met with Native American leaders to negotiate trade and peace. After his return, he was appointed governor of the Upper Louisiana Territory in 1807, but was held accountable for his handling of disputes over land and mines and for his misuse of public funds. On his way to Washington, D.C. to give an explanation, he was found shot to death at his lodgings in what is now Hohenwald, about 110 km from Nashville, on October 11, 1809. There are several theories about his death, including that it was a suicide, a conspiracy, or an accident. Lewis
Lewis, Gilbert N. Born October 23, 1875 in Weymouth, Massachusetts
[Died] March 23, 1946, Berkeley, California. Gilbert N. Lewis. American physical chemist. Full name Gilbert Newton Lewis. In chemical thermodynamics, he introduced the concept of fugacity and the activity coefficient (activity coefficient) as a functional expression, and in the field of chemical bonding, he proposed the covalent bond by sharing of valence electrons and the eight-corner theory. He grew up in Lincoln, Nebraska, and entered the preparatory school for the University of Nebraska at the age of 13. He studied there until his second year, and transferred to Harvard in 1893, where he obtained a bachelor's degree in chemistry in 1896. After teaching at Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts for one year, he returned to Harvard and obtained a master's degree in 1898. The following year, he obtained his doctorate under the supervision of Theodore Richards for a thesis on the electrochemistry of zinc and cadmium amalgams. After serving as a lecturer at Harvard for one year, he studied in Germany under Wilhelm Ostwald at the University of Leipzig and Walter Nernst at the University of Göttingen. After serving as a lecturer at Harvard and a weights and measures inspector in the Philippines, he became a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1905. In 1912, he became dean of the University of California, Berkeley, and during his 34 years there, he developed the university's chemistry department into one of the best in the United States. Lewis's research also covered a wide range of topics, including the purification of heavy water (→deuterium), the electronic theory of acids and bases (→Lewis acids, Lewis bases), and the triplet state of fluorescence and phosphorescence. His interests and insights also expanded into the field of theoretical physics, which had an immeasurable impact, but the biggest mystery of his career was that he had not won a Nobel Prize. His works include Valence and the Structure of Atoms and Molecules (1923) and The Anatomy of Science (1926). Lewis

Lewis, Matthew Gregory Born: July 9, 1775, London, England
[Died] May 14, 1818.
Matthew Gregory Lewis (commonly known as Monk Lewis), British novelist and playwright. He achieved sensational success with his gothic novel The Monk (1796), and came to be known as Monk Lewis. He studied at Westminster School and Christ Church College, Oxford, and served as an embassy ambassador to The Hague before serving as a member of the House of Commons from 1796 to 1802. In 1812, he inherited a large fortune in Jamaica, but he was sincerely concerned about the condition of the 500 slaves he managed, and made two tours of the West Indies. However, on the return journey from his second trip, he contracted yellow fever and died at sea. The Monk was written when Lewis was 19 years old, and was influenced by Ann Radcliffe and the more intense German gothic literature. The work was criticized by some for emphasizing horror over romance, and violence and eroticism, but it gained a devoted readership. The following musical, The Castle Spectre (performed 1797, published 1798), was also a success, produced by Richard Brinsley Sheridan. Another important work, the Journal of a West Indian Proprietor (1834), published posthumously, attests to Lewis's humanitarian and liberal character. Lewis
Ruiz, Juan Born: 1283, Alcala
Juan Luis, Spanish poet and priest. Priest of Ita. His masterpiece, El libro de buen amor (1330, expanded in 1343), is said to be the most important long poem in medieval Spain. Nothing is known about Luis' life except what is written in the book. He was educated in Toledo and is thought to have finished writing the book by 1330 while working as a priest in Ita, a village near Alcala. He also composed songs and is thought to have gained fame. The book is mainly composed of 14-syllable homophonic quatrains called cuaderna via, but it is also interspersed with poems of various rhythms. The twelve narrative poems in the book contain not only a wide variety of love affairs, but also realistic descriptions of the general customs of the time. The first comic character in Spanish literature appears in the form of an old woman named Trotaconventos. Drawing on a wide range of literary material, including the Bible, Christian scriptures, ancient poems such as those of Ovid, the poems of the Goliards (a group of wine-loving satirical poets from the Middle Ages), French fabliaux, Arabic writings, and secular songs, this work led to the rise of realism in literature, which culminated in the villain novels of the 16th and 17th centuries.
