Rep. John Lewis: ‘We Still Have a Distance To Go’ on Racism in America

"He [Martin Luther King] taught us that hate is too heavy a burden to bear. As young people, you must never, ever hate. You must never, ever become bitter or hostile. You must be hopeful. You must be optimistic and never, never give up …

We still have a distance to go before we lay down the scars and stains of racism in America. I truly believe, that these young people growing' up today in the fifth grade will grow up in a better society, a different society. We will get it right."
