On the Passing of Rep. John Lewis

It is with great sadness that the nation's Center for Civic Education recognizes the passing of the indomitable icon, U.S. Congressman John Lewis (D-Georgia). He is known across the country and around the world as a civil rights pioneer, the "conscience of Congress," and a man forever on the right side of history. To the Center, he is known as a path-breaking defender of civic education and civic engagement.
