The recent passing of Representative John Lewis is very personal for me. My parents raised my siblings and I on the principals of non-violence, love and advocacy. These principals is still hold true to my heart today.
I had the pleasure of meeting him in 2017 at the School Library Journal Magazine Leadership Summit Needless for say, I was tongue tied in this picture and he drove the conversation! I couldn’t believe that I was shaking the hand of the man my parents taught me so much about.
When SLJ Magazine reached out to me for a quote, I found the appropriate words I wish I could have said that day. A sincere thank you for his influence on my practice and advocacy for school libraries.
Simply said, Thank you John Lewis for your love and sacrifice.
