| N.J. Chamber President and CEO Tom Bracken’s Statement on the Passing of Congressman John Lewis |
|
| The passing of Georgia Congressman John Lewis comes at a particularly poignant time for our nation and for New Jersey.
Congressman Lewis was a pillar of the civil rights movement and his fight for inclusion and economic opportunity made him the conscience of the U. S. Congress for his more than three decades of service there.
His life is the embodiment of what this country can achieve and a reminder of how much more there is yet to do to create economic opportunity for all Americans.
As we honor the memory of Congressman Lewis, The N.J. Chamber of Commerce renews its commitment to work with political, business and community leaders, especially our joint initiative with the African American Chamber of Commerce of New Jersey to address economic, social and educational inequalities in our state and help those left out or left behind. |
