BALTIMORE, Maryland, July 20 -- Morgan State University issued the following letter by President David Wilson:
This morning, we awaken to the unfortunate news of the passing of the Honorable Congressman John Lewis. At a time when our national heroes are few, we have lost a true champion who fought--literally and figuratively---for freedom, equality, justice and fairness for all. He and his leadership will be missed.
