Rensselaer Graduates Urged To Build Stronger Communities
*

Renowned Human Rights and Civil Liberties Pioneer Congressman John Lewis Addresses 1,676 Graduates; Rensselaer President Shirley Ann Jackson Calls on Graduates To Use Technology To Serve Humanity
*

U.S. Representative John R. Lewis (D-GA)—one of the nation’s most dedicated and courageous civil rights leaders—urged graduates to use their skills to build a kinder, more equitable society, at the 207th Commencement at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Saturday.

“What we can learn from the history of the March on Washington is that democracy is not a state. It is an act,” said Lewis. “We will never reach a place in our democracy where we can finally sit down. We will never reach a place where we can put away our responsibility as citizens and leave our job to others. Our society requires you and me to get off the sidelines and get in the game.”
