AHEPA Mourns Passing of Civil Rights Icon John Lewis




Supreme President George G. Horiates issued a statement on the passing of Civil Rights Icon, U.S. Representative John Lewis, a recipient of the AHEPA Pericles Award:
“Ahepans mourn the passing of U.S. Representative John Lewis, an Icon of the Civil Rights Movement.
“Congressman Lewis dedicated a lifetime of service to America as champion for Civil Rights, human rights, and equality. He served as an inspiration to generations of Americans for his moral courage and strong conviction that there is ‘not any room in our society for discrimination based on race, or color, or faith, or what part of the world you may come from.’
“We recall with great appreciation and fondness his acceptance remarks to our audience, ‘When Dr. Martin Luther King issued a call, members of your church responded, and we will never forget it. And fifty years later you came to Selma to walk with us. Thank you.’
“It is our society that is thankful to John Lewis for his lasting commitment to service and justice through nonviolence, which has made America a more perfect Union.
“Our deepest sympathies and prayers are with the Lewis family. May his memory be eternal.”

In 2015, AHEPA presented Congressman Lewis with the AHEPA Pericles Award and a custom-framed copy of the historic March 26, 1965 issue of Life Magazine "Memorial at Selma" with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and His Eminence Archbishop Iakovos on the cover at the 41st Biennial Congressional Banquet held at the Willard Intercontinental Hotel, Washington, DC. The inscription written on the frame stated in part, "In Commemoration of the Unity of the African American and Greek Communities." Lewis sustained severe injuries from the beatings he received as a participant in the “Bloody Sunday” voting rights march on March 7, 1965.
Congressman Lewis was a member of the Congressional Caucus on Hellenic Issues.

ΒΑRACK OBAMA's latest news

Hi there, Late last night, the world lost a legend. In the statement President Obama released in light of the heartbreaking news of Representative John Lewis’ passing, he describes an inspiring conversation they had after their last public appearance together: “It’s fitting that the last time John and I shared a public forum was at a virtual town hall with a gathering of young activists who were helping to lead this summer’s demonstrations in the wake of George Floyd’s death. Afterwards, I spoke to him privately, and he could not have been prouder of their efforts—of a new generation standing up for freedom and equality, a new generation intent on voting and protecting the right to vote, a new generation running for political office. I told him that all those young people—of every race, from every background and gender and sexual orientation—they were his children. They had learned from his example, even if they didn’t know it. They had understood through him what American citizenship requires, even if they had heard of his courage only through history books.”  Their conversation happened just six weeks ago, following a town hall hosted by the My Brother’s Keeper Alliance that focused on the mental toll racism takes on people of color. Rep. Lewis and President Obama, along with founder and executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative Bryan Stevenson, writer and survivor of police brutality Leon Ford, Jr., youth leader LeQuan Muhammad, and activist and author Darnell Moore, highlighted the importance of mental health and wellness for young leaders pushing for change. In a powerful moment, Rep. Lewis describes the courage he found in his faith and how this act of self-care allowed him to summon the strength he needed to keep fighting. It’s a testament to how he lived his life—and the example he set for future generations.   Our work is to inspire the next generation of leaders so that they can create a better world. Rep. John Lewis embodied that mission throughout his eighty years, and though we mourn his loss, we are lifted by his legacy—empowering young people to take up the baton of justice for years to come. Rest in power. —The Obama Foundation

ANNOUNCEMENT

NSF invests in incubator institutes to keep the U.S. on cutting edge of mathematical sciences


July 13, 2020

Mathematical Sciences Research Institutes, funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation, act as incubators to tackle problems ranging from health care and economics to data science and artificial intelligence. By engaging multiple research communities, the institutes enable the field of mathematics to respond quickly to national needs.

NSF is investing more than $118 million over five years for six awards to Mathematical Sciences Research Institutes. In addition to five renewal awards for existing institutes, one is brand new: the Institute for Mathematical and Statistical Innovation at the University of Chicago. The new institute, in collaboration with Northwestern University, the University of Illinois at Chicago, and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, will convene both leaders in the field and junior trainees for long-term programming such as workshops and residencies that help to shape the direction and progress of mathematical research in the United States.

"The influence of mathematical sciences on our daily lives is all around us and far-reaching," says NSF Division Director of Mathematical Sciences Juan Meza. "The investment in these institutes enables interdisciplinary connections across fields of science, with impacts across sectors of computing, engineering, and health."

Timely and thematic workshops offered by the institutes can identify promising new areas for collaborative work. One program led to using machine learning for the design of catalysts, energy materials, and even new drugs. A recent workshop focused on mathematical models used in studying COVID-19. The Mathematical Sciences Research Institutes are an important component of the U.S. research infrastructure and help keep the U.S. on the cutting edge through their international scale programming.

A full list of awards made in Fiscal Year 2020 can be found on NSF's website. More information about the Mathematical Sciences Research Institutes can be found on NSF's website or at mathinstitutes.org.
