As our President and CEO Detria Everson walked across the #EdmundPettusBridge, she thought of #RepJohnLewis' words on #Selma "[The Bridge] was a test of the belief that love was stronger than hate. It is. Much stronger. So much stronger."

Dr. King's philosophy of nonviolence and civil disobedience deeply influenced #RepJohnLewis' activism.
It is Dr. King’s teachings on love, however, that may have had the most significant influence on Lewis, who looked up to Dr. King as a mentor.
