WALTHAM, Massachusetts, July 25 -- Brandeis University issued the following statement by American Studies professor Thomas Doherty:
On July 17, 2020, after a six-month battle with pancreatic cancer, Congressman John Lewis passed away at age 80. The eulogies for the civil rights icon stated the obvious: that he touched lives and transformed history, that with his passing went also a tangible link to a purgatorial era in American history best not forgotten.
