Freedom

“Freedom is not a state; it is an act. It is not some enchanted garden perched high on a distant plateau where we can finally sit down and rest. Freedom is the continuous action we all must take, and each generation must do its part to create an even more fair, more just society.”—John Lewis (1940-2020, civil rights activist, in his 2017 memoir, Across That Bridge: A Vision for Change and the Future of America
