Fulton Lewis III attended Landon School in Bethesda, Maryland and the University of Virginia, graduating from the latter in 1957. His first job was News Director of a small station in Jamestown, New York but soon afterwards (1959) he was hired by the House Un-American Activities Committee of the U.S. Congress as its Research Director. The following year, he produced and narrated the Committee's documentary film of the May 1960 riots in San Francisco protesting the Committee's hearings there. The script was written by FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover and showed evidence of involvement by members of the Communist Party USA in the incitement and leadership of the riots. In 1961, Lewis resigned from the Committee to embark on a nationwide lecture/debate tour in defense of the validity of the film. He appeared on over 750 college and university campuses.
In 1963, Lewis was named National Field Director of Young Americans for Freedom, a conservative youth group inspired by publisher William F. Buckley Jr. He continued his lecturing and debating as a means of organizing YAF chapters on campuses and to recruit support for the presidential candidacy of Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-AZ). Lewis was later hired as a speechwriter for Goldwater and his running mate Rep. William E. Miller (R-NY) in their unsuccessful campaign of 1964. Following the election, he continued his lecture tour appearing on hundreds of campuses and at civic, business and political meetings.
After the death of his father on August 20, 1966, Lewis was asked by the Mutual Broadcasting System to continue the elder Lewis' nightly 15-minute broadcasts, which he did until 1979. His commentaries were heard on over 500 of the network's affiliates by an estimated 16 million people.
Later career
In 1980, Lewis retired from journalism and moved to Florida, where he owned and operated a computer database services company. He has continued to lecture throughout the nation, served as a consultant to numerous political candidates, and was a frequent contributor of articles to conservative journals.
