Keeping profound faith in the promise of America, and inspired by his deep love of country, Congressman Lewis consistently put his life on the line in the name of perfecting our union. He understood both the power and fragility of America's grand experiment with democracy, and so made it his life's work to protect, strengthen and grow our democracy. We owe him an enormous debt of gratitude, only to be returned by never flinching in the face of injustice and by fully embracing the beautiful struggle of America in progress. May he rest in peace."
