Statement on the Life and Legacy of Congressman John Lewis
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Representative Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) released the following statement about the passing of civil rights leader John Lewis, his colleague and friend:
"One of the greatest privileges of serving in Congress has been the opportunity to know and work with John Lewis, at whose side I have shared the Ways and Means Committee dais. John was a man of conviction and courage, of humility and good humor.
I give thanks for his personal friendship and for all that he did to lead America to a better place—while reminding us regularly of how much better we can and should be."
Congressmen Lewis and Doggett walk from the Capitol to Congressman Lewis' office in Cannon Office Building in 2012.
