#ThrowbackThursday

Throwback Thursday to an unforgettable trip to Egypt with the incredible Congressman John Lewis.

For those who celebrate, wishing you thoughtful and inspiring Passover seders. Chag sameach pesach.

Both of them, and so many others were so inspiring. We honor their memory and legacy when we try to make the world better, and speak truth even in uncomfortable places. [3/3]

Mr. Lewis told many times of hearing the order, "Troopers Advance" before state troopers attacked the marchers with horses, billy clubs, and tear gas. In 1995, Congressman Lewis, my boss, returned with surviving civil rights leaders, including Jesse Jackson, whose funeral was yesterday. [2/3]

Today is the anniversary of "Bloody Sunday" - the civil rights march in Selma, Alabama that led to passage of the Voting Rights Act. John Lewis and Hosea Williams led the march. [1/3]

Those include concerns about health, small businesses and the availability of the river for recreation and sports. As a Councilmember, I will exercise vigorous oversight to prevent an event like this from happening again and make sure that we monitor and alleviate the harms to our waterways. /5

It was obvious from the discussion and questions at the forum that there are complex issues surrounding the conditions in the river and canal, on the land near the sewage overflows and the condition of the infrastructure that will have to be resolved... /4

This event is one that will affect Montgomery County residents, particularly those in the area I seek to represent, for many years to come. I appreciate the long hours and hard work of so many to dramatically reduce the overflow into the Potomac.../2
