The words of John Lewis, courageous son of the American South and guardian of conscience, resound like the echo of a sacred bell: “We come to Selma to be renewed. We come to be inspired. We come to be reminded that we must do the work that justice and equality calls us to do.”
In this solemn invocation, Lewis speaks not only of a place, but of a pilgrimage — a return to the spiritual wellspring of courage and conviction. For Selma is not merely a city in Alabama; it is a symbol of struggle and resurrection, a living altar to the ideals of justice, equality, and freedom. His words summon us to remember that the fight for righteousness is not a single march or

American - Politician Born: February 21, 1940

With the author

Not one of us can rest, be happy, be at home, be at peace with ourselves, until we end hatred and division.

John Lewis

You have to tell the whole truth, the good and the bad, maybe some things that are uncomfortable for some people.

John Lewis

When I was 15 years old and in the tenth grade, I heard of Martin Luther King, Jr. Three years later, when I was 18, I met Dr. King and we became friends. Two years after that I became very involved in the civil rights movement. I was in college at that time. As I got more and more involved, I saw politics as a means of bringing about change.

John Lewis

Sometimes I feel like crying, tears of happiness, tears of joy, to see the distance we've come and the progress we've made.

John Lewis

We are one people; we are only family. And when we finally accept these truths, then we will be able to fulfill Dr. King's dream to build a beloved community, a nation, and a world at peace with itself.

John Lewis

Before we went on any protest, whether it was sit-ins or the freedom rides or any march, we prepared ourselves, and we were disciplined. We were committed to the way of peace - the way of non-violence - the way of love - the way of life as the way of living.

John Lewis

The scars and stains of racism are still deeply embedded in the American society.

John Lewis

When growing up, I saw segregation. I saw racial discrimination. I saw those signs that said white men, colored men. White women, colored women. White waiting. And I didn't like it.

John Lewis

One thing that is clearly not maximized by free markets is equality. I am talking not about that pale substitute for equality known as equality of opportunity but about equality itself.

Steven Weinberg

The people who believe themselves to be on the left, and who defend the agents of Islam in the name of tolerance and culture, are being rightwing. Not just rightwing. Extreme rightwing. I don't understand how you can be so upset about the Christian right and just ignore the Islamic right. I'm talking about equality.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali

One of the things about equality is not just that you be treated equally to a man, but that you treat yourself equally to the way you treat a man.

Marlo Thomas

It's amazing how far that we've come and the strides we've made in the LGBTQIA community with regard to acceptance and equality and really honoring ourselves and who we are.

Shangela

Worrying about the poor is one thing. To contend that equality is necessary for growth is an altogether different and more radical idea.

Chrystia Freeland

We came equals into this world, and equals shall we go out of it.

George Mason

I would find it difficult to be involved in an effort that I think disenfranchises people from a fundamental right. How do you work with people who are opposed to marriage equality? I don't want to do it.

Steve Schmidt

Today it is time for every child to have a right to life, right to freedom, right to health, right to education, safety, the right to dignity, right to equality, and right to peace.
