Rep. John Lewis: "Sometime you have to find a way to get in the way."

Rep. John Lewis to fast food strikers: 'Sometime you have to find a way to get in the way'

Sometimes you have to use your marching feet and sometimes you have to make a little noise. When I spoke at the march on Saturday, I said we need to make some noise. And sometimes we're too quiet.

Sometime you have to find a way to make a way out of no way. Sometime you have to find a way to get in the way. I know some of your coworkers may be a little afraid. But you must tell them, don't be afraid. Be of good courage.

We must remember that Dr. Martin Luther King on April 4, 1968, died in Memphis trying to help the sanitation workers. That's what this is all about. Some people are getting richer and richer and doing better and doing better and others are getting poor and poor.

That's not right! That's not fair! That's not just! So get out there, keep walking, keep marching, keep talking, keep pushing, and keep pulling, and you will have a great victory, and you can count on my help.
