Joyce Beatty said "America has lost a national treasure, one of the world's greatest fighters and defenders of freedom and justice. Congressman Lewis' words and work and legacy will live forever. I am so fortunate to have traveled to Africa with him and to have marched in my hometown with him. You see, Mr. Speaker, when Mr. Lewis spoke, you heard the voice of history, a voice that helped stir the conscience of America at a time of ugliness and struggle, but also at a time and in an era of hope and accomplishment. My colleagues, there is no greater time for us to stand up against injustices that we are facing, no greater time for us to fight for justice and fairness at the ballot box. So, my colleagues, let us make some noise. Let us get in trouble, good trouble. God bless you. Rest in peace. Rest in power, my friend. Good trouble." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
