John Lewis: The Struggle To Redeem the Soul of America

We continue to have a long ways to go. May we open our eyes, hearts, and minds and awaken. We're all connected, all in this together. May the courageous ones inspire us all. - Molly

John Lewis in 1965 at the historic Selma march known as Bloody Sunday

Our struggle is a struggle to redeem the soul of America. It's not a struggle that lasts for a few days, a few weeks, a few months, or a few years. It is the struggle of a lifetime, more than one lifetime.

I appeal to all of you to get into this great revolution that is sweeping this nation. Get in and stay in the streets of every city, every village and hamlet of this nation until true freedom comes, until the revolution of 1776 is complete.

- John Lewis
