LEWIS TRANSLATES THE
AMERICAN DREAM


All too few of US have our
dreams come true. To most OF
us our dream is but a receding
goal driving us on to keep strug-
Cling. The late William H. Lewis
was one Of the few not only to
keep reaching after his dream,
but to grasp it, and thrill at the
realization it had come true.
With a battered suit case, ten
cents in his pocket and a dream
in his heart to be great Ameri-
can lawyer he went out into an
old fashioned New England biz
ard from the old Providence rail-
road depot on Kneeland st. when
he first landed in Boston. How
syTnbolicl No storm was ever to
stay him.
His passing at a ripe old age
has spotlighted the truth of his
becoming one of Americas most
outstanding criminal lawyers.
This Is remarkable in a son of a
slave; an achievement for any
man Of the highest order. Here
are some Of the contributing fac
tors; He came to Boston, Free
dom's City Of America, to be
trained as a lawyer and to prac-
tice. His athletic prowess at Har-
ward gave him early helpful pub
lefty and popularity. He brought
to the bar eloquence and skill.

''Your Brothers Voice.
Clifford |. Miller

He enjoyed all the rewards and
privileges that go with success in
America. Yet he kept his bal
ance, kept himself available to
the humble, identified himself
with the struggles Of his brother.
In launching out into the deep Of
American life he has made a con-
tribution to his country and to
his race.
Our race will become increas-
ingly grateful for his life and its
contribution. In the days ahead
in our battles with the m-Amer-
lean forces that fight bitterly and
hard to keep us in the Egypt Of
economic bondage, Lewis may
well be a cloud by day and star
by night to lead us on into the
Promised Land. His achievement
as a great American lawyer will
always be saying to us that the
door Of opportunity still swings
on hinges that have been oiled,
and while it opens slowly and
ponderously, it will open to the
one who knocks, keeps on knock
ing, and never loses heart in
knocking.
Let us hope that the choice
selections Of his orations and
speeches will be edited and pub
liShed and read by all Americans
face to face with handicaps.
They will give inspiration and
guidance.
