Rep. John Lewis: "Be hopeful, be optimistic"

I needed this message today. Congressman John Lewis is a treasure. #goodtrouble

Link to tweet

Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. #goodtrouble
