Carter G. Woodson started #BlackHistoryMonth in 1926. ASALH, the org. he founded, declared #labor as this year's theme. #RepJohnLewis had a 99% voting record in Congress. He often recalled that the #MarchonWashington was also about #organizedlabor. #BHM #ASALH #JLMLF #unions

Rep. Lewis offered his support for the founding of the Georgia School of Orthodontics ten years ago. It's a full circle moment to have their support for the John Lewis Legacy Scholarships. So full of gratitude after yesterday's event and looking forward to our work together.
