U.S. Rep. John Lewis, often called “one of the most courageous persons the civil rights movement ever produced,” delivered the address at Bates’ 150th commencement ceremony on May 29.

In his speech, recounting his first meeting with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., Lewis said that the great civil rights leader “inspired me to stand up, to speak up and speak out.”

“You must find a way to get in the way and get in good trouble, necessary trouble,” Lewis told the graduates.

“You have a moral obligation, a mission and a mandate, when you leave here, to go out and seek justice for all. You can do it. You must do it.”

Lewis was joined by fellow honorands Lisa Genova ‘92, best-selling novelist and a member of the Bates class of 1992; Daniel Gilbert, author of “Stumbling on Happiness”; and Robert Witt, a member of the Bates class of 1962 and a leader in higher education.
