Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI-12) released the following statement today on the passing of long-time civil rights activist and philosopher Grace Lee Boggs.
“John and I are saddened by the loss of a friend and true champion for change. Grace Lee Boggs worked her entire life to advance the ideals of justice and equality. She believed at the core that small groups of people working together are the key to bringing about social change, and she inspired generations of Americans to pursue a dream of a society that is more fair and just. Grace left an indelible mark on our community, our state and our nation. We owe her a debt of gratitude, and will forever remember her as someone who brought people together and created revolutionary change – one small step at a time.”
