"I enjoyed reading your letter addressed to President Clinton. I agree with you, in regard to racism in society we must
leave our biases and preconceived ideas at the door before any discussion on this issue can begin. Americans have come from
all corners of the globe, bringing diverse cultures, knowledge and beliefs with them. These multicultural values and traditions
have shaped our nation. Yet, racism still prevents millions of Americans from being judged on 'the content of their character
rather than the color of their skin.' We are working hard in this Administration to encourage government and the private sector
to work as a team to eradicate racism in our society. Thank you for your support." Henry Cisneros, Secretary, Department
of Housing and Urban Development (Washington, D.C.) ________________________________ "...[Dr. Lewis] has demonstrated

City of Wilmington (DE) _______________________________ "It has always been a pleasure to work on committees with Horacio
Lewis. I have always found him to be a fair individual who is much concerned about the needs of the underserved regardless
of race or sex. But more than concern, he takes action by bringing direct attention to issues and serving as an advocate for
those unable to speak for themselves." Maria D. Perez, M.D. (DE) _______________________________ "I was on the one
hand disappointed, yet happy for you to learn about your new position at Brown University. In my estimation Delaware has lost
an insightful and accomplished teacher and a passionate advocate for human rights, and Brown is indeed fortunate to have [the]
benefit of your thinking and doing." David H. Burdash, Director of The Wilmington Library (DE) _______________________________
"Dr. Lewis has earned my respect on many levels, but perhaps the most striking of his strengths--at least to me--is the
way he applies the best of both the scholarly and the pragmatic approaches to policy-making. He is consistently well-informed,
current in his research and eloquent in his expression of ideas, and just as consistently, he is committed to finding solutions
that work--'real world'--solutions that allow room for complexity and compromise. He has broken down barriers between groups
of our citizens not by the volume of his voice but by the power of his argument and of his example. He has opened doors of
opportunity and understanding, touching countless individual lives and strengthening our shared sense of community."

_______________________________ "Thank you very much for your letter expressing your support for adequate funding for
Title IV of the Civil Rights Act. I will continue to support...this program as the Congress makes crucial budgetary decisions."
Chairman Carl D. Perkins, Congress of The United States (Washington, DC) _______________________________ "Helped us do
some self-examination as we considered issues of race." Newark United Church of Christ (DE) _______________________________
"I would like to congratulate you on being nominated for the 25th Annual Jefferson Awards. This is an honor that you
richly deserve. However, more than simply congratulating you, I would like to thank you for your tireless dedication and devotion
to the community. You have raised the state’s consciousness about the importance of civil rights, Hispanic affairs,
the NAACP and children and have demonstrated firsthand the significance of diversity. It is my sincere hope that your efforts
will inspire others to follow your example. Once again congratulations and best wishes." Michael N. Castle, Member of
Congress __________________________________ "I am writing to acknowledge
and thank your for your gift of [five groups] of primary source material pertaining to issues of Latinos in Delaware and elsewhere
(which were compiled when you were Chairman of the Delaware Governor’s Council on Hispanic Affairs, Co-Founder of the
Delaware Latino task Force, and Dean of the Indiana University Office of Latino Affairs), the history of the Panama Canal
and desegregation of Delaware schools. As I mentioned during your visit, these sorts of printed reports are important primary
documents and often represent a unique source of information on some of these topics. I appreciate your donation of this material
to the Library where it can be used by students, faculty and members of the community. I am particularly pleased to have the
desegregation material, which reflects your unique perspective as a [“]plaintiff[”] in the desegregation of Delaware
schools. The desegregation of Delaware schools is one of our most heavily-researched topics and the material you have given
us will quickly become an important resource for the students and scholars who research this topic..." Timothy D. Murray,
Head Special Collections, University of Delaware____________ Family Court Judge Aida Wasserstein: “Dr.
Lewis is sensitive, caring, capable, thorough, knowledgeable and willing to share his expertise.” Delaware
