Good trouble intro text
This month, remember the life and legacy of Representative John Lewis–Freedom Rider and Congressman, Presidential Medal of Freedom honoree and the conscience of a nation–who served the cause of social justice for decades, both as an elected representative and as a groundbreaking activist whose fervent belief in getting into “good trouble, necessary trouble” for the cause of racial equality changed our nation.
