"Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and redeem the soul of America." -John Lewis

Never give up

When Lewis was elected to Congress in 1986, one of his first bills was the creation of a national museum to chronicle the history, culture, and successes of Black Americans. The culmination of this bill was passed in 2003 and opened in 2016 as the National Museum of African American History and Culture. Lewis taught us persistence. He taught us that when a person has transformative ideas, they should not taper those ideas. Instead, they should push those ideas until others get on board. Simply because change is slow does not mean change agents have to move slowly towards it. Lewis was a lightning bolt for equity, social change, and social justice. We must continue his legacy, never forget history, pursue equity, and get in good trouble.

3. Redeem The Soul Of America?

Look who America just elected.

They're gonna punish the shit out of anybody who gets in "good trouble."

It's WAY TOO LATE to redeem whatever soul America once had. It's Over.

4. Surrender is not an option.
