“The John and Lillian Miles Lewis Foundation mourns the passing of Congressman David Scott, a devoted public servant whose life was defined by an unwavering commitment to justice, equity, and the people of Georgia.
Congressman Scott served alongside Congressman John Lewis in the United States House of Representatives as part of Georgia’s delegation and the Congressional Black Caucus, advancing a shared commitment to civil rights, economic opportunity, and justice for all.
His leadership reflected both principle and compassion, and his contributions will continue to resonate as we carry forward the call to make “good trouble” in pursuit of a more just society.
We extend our deepest condolences to his family, loved ones, colleagues, and all who were touched by his life and legacy.”

As a nation, if we care for the Beloved Community, we must move our feet, our hands, our hearts, our resources to build and not tear down, to reconcile and not to divide, to love and not to hate.
