Congressman John Lewis

As a college student, I became a part of the movement that Dr. Martin Luther King had inspired in the Montgomery Bus Boycott. We challenged the system of segregation that had dominated the lives of black people since the days of slavery.

I found myself in a community of people who were willing to disobey social custom and defy the law. These people were willing to suffer beatings, go to jail, and give their lives for a higher purpose.

In 1961, we began the Freedom Rides. We rode from Washington, DC to Mississippi. We challenged segregation in interstate travel. We captured the imagination of the nation and effectively opened the doors to public travel facilities for all races.

We had a dream that we could eliminate racism and the division between human beings and build the Beloved Communitya community of peace, justice, and brotherhood, it was a dream whose time had come.

The struggle continues. As a nation and as a people we have made great strides in protecting the rights of each and every American, but we still have more work to do. As long as wages are not fair and livable, as long as families cannot afford decent health care, and as long as our country is still torn and divided by the color of one's skin, there is still much work to do.

It is not fashionable to talk about integration today. Yet, it will take a coming together of all peoplenationally and globallyto address the injustices and inequalities of our nation. We cannot run away from anyone or leave behind anyonenot the poor, not the sick, not the disenfranchised.
