He leaves us with these words
from an op-ed in the New York Times
published the day of his funeral
July 30, 2020
"Ordinary people

with extraordinary vision

can redeem the soul of America

by getting in

what I call good trouble,

necessary trouble.

Voting and participating

in the democratic process

are key.

The vote

is the most powerful

nonviolent change agent

you have

in a democratic society."
