Cleveland, OH --    Civil rights leader and Congressman John Lewis in Cleveland Tuesday as guest speaker at Legal Aid's annual event.

In his remarks, he commented on the importance of Legal Aid's staff and volunteers. He implored the crowd of 800 to work for justice: you "have to speak up, make some noise and not just the young people, but adults, too. We're too quiet. Get in the way, get in trouble, necessary trouble. Good trouble."
