Dingell on the Passing of Congressman John Lewis
Washington,
July 18, 2020
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (D-MI) released the following statement on the passing of Congressman John Lewis: “I have lost a friend and our country lost a fighter. John Lewis was America’s friend. He had the courage of a lion, the passion of a cougar, the wisdom of Solomon, and the heart of a lamb. A close friend of both John Dingell and I, John Lewis inspired everyone he knew and built an army to fight the good fight with him. John Lewis always believe that America’s best days were ahead of us. That drove him to fight harder for not only Civil Rights and Voting Rights, but for healthcare, gun violence prevention, freedom of speech, and just being nice and good to people. I know John Lewis and John Dingell are with each other again – surly making a bit a trouble. I will miss my friend a lot, and am sad. Today, do something to help someone else. And when you want to remember John, give others encouragement, power, and love.” ### |
