John,
My heart breaks today with the passing of Congressman John Lewis.
John Lewis's lifelong quest for freedom and justice for all led to important progress in our nation and inspired so many others to join the fight. I was truly humbled to serve alongside him in Congress.
We will all miss this true American hero -- a man with the highest level of integrity. We can honor him by continuing his efforts to build a more just America.
I can’t help but remember visiting Selma, walking across the Edmund Pettus Bridge with Mr. Lewis and thinking about the tremendous injuries he suffered there in the fight for justice. We owe it to him to not become complacent, to keep up the fight, and never stop working to bend the moral arc of the universe toward justice.
Yours,
Matt
