Last night, civil rights leader Congressman John Lewis passed away.
“Last night the world lost a hero, a statesman and a civil rights icon.
Congressman John Lewis spent his life fighting racism and injustice wherever he confronted it, from boycotts, sit-ins, and other protests in the streets, to championing bold, progressive policies in Congress. He made good trouble to help us get where we are today.
The entire Young Invincibles team extends our condolences to the Lewis’ family, friends, staff and City of Atlanta.”
