“We used to say that ours is not the struggle of one day, one week, or one year. Ours is not the struggle of one judicial appointment or presidential term. Ours is the struggle of a lifetime, or maybe even many lifetimes, and each one of us in every generation must do our part. And if we believe in the change we seek, then it is easy to commit to doing all we can, because the responsibility is ours alone to build a better society and a more peaceful world.”
-Congressman John Lewis, 1940-2020

The late Rep. John Lewis nailed it then, and his words STILL do so now. Sure feels like we’re in the midst of “the struggle for a lifetime, or maybe even many lifetimes.”
