Civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis (D-GA), who spoke at the 1963 March on Washington, on Wednesday reflected on how far America had progressed since the day Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his monumental “I Have A Dream” speech at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
Looking back on my speech 50 years ago, there are many things we are still fighting for today. But we cannot become bitter or hostile.

We have to keep pushing and pulling, keep finding a way to get in the way. Make some trouble, good trouble, necessary trouble.

Sometimes I hear people say nothing has changed. Come walk in my shoes.
