@therootnews: For John-Miles Lewis, son of the late civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis, the phrase “good trouble” is more urgent now than ever before. “Now is that time for that necessary trouble,” Lewis told The Root at the Good Trouble Gala in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday. “There are powers that be right now that are really trying to get democracy by the chokehold. And we can’t allow that.” Lewis reflected on his father’s legacy and warned against what he sees as attempts to roll back hard-fought progress. “My father worked too hard and struggled for certain people to come this far just to be thrown back to where we were,” he said. “It feels almost like Jim Crow is coming up on us again.” #GoodTrouble #JohnLewis #VotingRights #CivilRights #JimCrow
