‘find a way to get in trouble. good trouble, necessary trouble.’

“The late Asa Rand­loph, who was the dean of Black lead­er­ship, said over and over again when we were plan­ning the March on Wash­ing­ton, ‘Maybe our fore­moth­ers and our fore­fa­thers all came to this great land on dif­fer­ent ships, but we’re in the same boat now.’ That is true to­day more than ever before.”
—John Lewis (1940–2020), Con­gress­man (D‑GA 5th Dis­trict), Civ­il Rights Ac­tivist, speech 2018

“Im­ages of his beat­ing at Sel­ma shocked the na­tion and led to swift pas­sage of the 1965 Vot­ing Rights Act. He was lat­er called the con­science of the Congress.”
—New York Times, 17 July 2020

“Rest in Pow­er Rep. John Lewis. We didn’t kick Trump out in time for him to wit­ness it, but we have birthed a new civ­il rights move­ment, one that’s built on his life’s work. Get­ting into all kinds of good trou­ble. Thank you for your ded­i­cat­ing your life to civ­il rights, vot­ing rights, and putting your body on the line. There are hun­dreds, if not thou­sands car­ry­ing the torch you helped keep lit. ✊🏽🔥💫”
