That crowdsurfing at the end made me cry. In terms of graphics, think of the picture of him being beaten, followed by him being upheld by all those arms. What an amazing pair of "panels" and a true testament to the work Lewis has done in his lifetime.
I can just see it now ..... ☆John Lewis walks through the Pearly Gates & the Angels see John Lewis enter into Heaven. They rush to meet him forming a crowd around him to welcome him. God looks up to see what's happening & spots the Congressman & calls to him.☆ *God:* "John! Come sit on my Right Hand side where you belong!" *John Lewis:* "Lord I will come to you, as soon as I can get through this crowd!" *Archangel Gabriel:* "Don't worry John we got this." ☆The Archangels Gabriel & Michael pick him up. & pass him over to the crowd of Angels who crowd surf him to over to. Gods Right Hand side where he belongs.☆ Here endeth the lesson.
Mr. John Lewis, I salute you for your unwavering courage as you fought for the equality of all people, even in the face of eminent danger. Well done, Sir!! THANK YOU! Rest in peace.
Blea ch :D I like your attitude but I am afraid I don't even believe in God since if there was any then my ancestors wouldn't invade another continent, kill its natives and produce creatures like you so that slavery keeps happening for ever As an aryan European I like to call people like that lively man the America You and your friends have been expired for a long time
The image of him crowdsurfing after just seeing him beaten by police from our country made me want to cry. Progress can happen even when it seems impossible.
"A Civil Rights legend" - and a titan of American history. So sad to learn of his passing. No brainer - the Edmund Pettus bridge has to be renamed - and the people can make it happen! Rest in power Congressman John Lewis
He actually asked for its name to remain so that people understand the history, who Edmund Pettus was (A confederate, Grand Dragon of the KKK, and a US Senator), he wants us to remember the dark history he fought against.
The real question is what can we do to reduce gun violence? The answer is mental health checks and background checks... His answer of gun bans can't work here in the US. Why you may ask? There are over 300 million guns in the US more than any other country. The next two countries Switzerland and Finland have the second and third most guns, and they have some of the least crime in the world. They don't do gun bans, but health/mental/background checks.
Ok, I'm just seeing this and this is the best thing ever. When he crowd surfed it was "Everything". God we've loss a great man. I know death is inevitable, however there are certain people I wish could stay with us forever; John Lewis and Dr. King are on that list. There's something about the originals. #GoodTrouble Heaven is rejoicing! Job well done Soldier you can rest now.🕊🙏
Oh my gosh! He actually crowd surfed at the end! oh my gosh! I was like "Please don't drop him! Guys, please don't drop him! He's important!" lol Can't believe he actually crowd surfed xD
One of the best and last of the Civil Rights Leaders is able to rest and pass the baton on. I encourage everyone to read everything about this man now. Because his true walk in life will not be taught in schools
I am not American,but I was touched by his life and his contribution to American politics and history. I have never heard about him until his death last month and I cried when he said "get in good trouble". The power to love is the best quality that one can have . He was truly a great statesman and an icon to the yong generation. RIP
I've been watching many of the tributes to this great man. Thank you, Mr. Lewis, for laying your life on the line hundreds of times to fight injustices against your people for the soul of America.
Sadly, Sushant, Canada has some big horrible issues, too, but they're just MUCH smaller, about 1/10 of the USA population and less than the state of California, yet the actual acreage is close to equal. They have a lot of the world fooled; they have big racism (absurd that thousands of Confederate flags fly in rural Ontario, for instance) and environmental horrors ongoing, but it's spread out far more making it not nearly as confrontational. Global awareness is more important now because our global population has doubled in 50 years. Canada has never had anyone of the stature of John Lewis. (btw, I have spent years in Nepal and India, too) All One ~ ONE LOVE
lol i dont think colbert thought Lewis actually knew what he was talking about when he asked if he wanted to crowd surf n lewis just immediately said "yup!"
I tear up every time I see that man and think of all that he has been through. I can't express how good it feels to see him crowdsurfing, gleeful as a child
We read his graphic novels in class and as seniors in the IB program we thought our teacher was going crazy but to be honest it was one of the most powerful things I've ever read. I have so much respect for John Lewis
This my first time seeing this clip. The Great Congressman JOHN LEWIS crowd surfing is just magnificent, because he is the civil rights leader that should be crowd surfing!!!! We have had and now lost one of the most poignant men in the Civil Rights Movement. I surely thank Congressman John Lewis for all of his work of getting in Good Trouble for our communities, nation, and the world.
Unforgettable first beaten to the ground. Now physically carry above the audience. He arrived to the promised land no doubt. He finally got recognized before he departed. Man God bless his soul
His favorite song was "Happy" by Pharrell. There are clips of him dancing to Happy at an office party. He kept his simple childlike joy until the day he left us.
Excellent, thank you for the inspiration! Heard you, Congressman Lewis and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at the March on Washington August 28, 1963 as a little girl.
James, if you're seriously interested in this remarkable man, I HIGHLY suggest you read his book "Walking With The Wind." It's one thing to learn of the civil rights struggle, it's another to read it from the first person. He LIVED the history. I heard him speak years ago and he utterly blew me away. I raced out to get his book and it truly is incredible.
Love you John. We need people like you to change. No more need to explain. +Change is the only way for peace. Prosperity, and advancement for society. God Bless the earth we live on.
07:58 I thought it was euphemism till it happened LOL man I hope they didn't drop him.....crows surfin also starts well till you hit the cluster of weaklings who just can't hold him up
this comedian is so nice to John Lewis, and validates the Quality of who John Lewis is his middle name should be SWEETNESS he did it he crowd surfed in the comedians audience, that is so adorable, then the comedian says so how was it?
Colbert crushes it - again - and Congressman John Lewis is a truly inspiring human being. I actually started cheering when he started crowdsurfing in the Ed Sullivan Theater! John Lewis! Crowdsurfing!
Aww that was a gr8 moment .he is now discussing everything with our king Jesus. Rip your work is done in this life.your legacy is inspiring future generation💒
At 4:38 AM when i am watching this. There are currently at least 13 racists to have watched this clip.. (The Dislikes) Good show my good man. Carry on, Sir.
I totally see John Lewis crowd surfing his way into Heaven. I can just see it now ..... ☆John Lewis walks through the Pearly Gates & the Angels see John Lewis enter into Heaven.

I can't imagine sitting down and talking with that man and telling him to his face that he's wrong about anything. He's never loud, but... his voice is just so intense, and his gaze is just as determined.
He had respect for himself, his family, his people, and his office. Not one scandal. Not one. Such a man. Thank you Congressman Lewis.
👍
Great man! RIP!
Why did I start to cry during his crowd surf? What a beautiful man!
You aren't alone. I can't stop crying.
@@tonymiller6847 ...ME too....tears ...
Whom should her fear
Someone cutting onions in your house too.🖤🌊💙⏰💝🌈🙏
wow i thought i was alone
Who’s watching because John Lewis has sadly now passed. Rest in power John Lewis. ✊
To It's Kate: John Lewis: Rest in *peace.* Better than living in trouble!
Rest in power as we will continue to get in good trouble. ✊🏿
Me!!!
I am watching this and crying at the same time.A real hero just died :(
I am glad that he lived to see how he got millions of people to get into #goodtrouble. Rest in power . You were loved and always will be loved.
That crowdsurfing at the end made me cry. In terms of graphics, think of the picture of him being beaten, followed by him being upheld by all those arms. What an amazing pair of "panels" and a true testament to the work Lewis has done in his lifetime.
This is a great observation!!!
Rest in peace, Your crown awaits in heaven. 🙏
U better say it!
I had to come back here after recent news. RIP Rep. John Lewis. May you crowd surf with the angels.
I can just see it now .....

lewis crowd surfin is probly the greatest thing ive seen on here in a while
YES!!
yep
OMG...I love iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.
I Know
John Lewis was severely beaten on and abut his head with heavy night sticks. Now 50 years later, he is very, very old. He is to be pitied.
We'll continue to hold you up, sir. Rest In Power, Brother John Lewis.
To Joe Human: Rest in peace. May the end of trouble be bestowed upon you. May the light of goodness greet and generate at the resurrection.
Mr. John Lewis, I salute you for your unwavering courage as you fought for the equality of all people, even in the face of eminent danger. Well done, Sir!! THANK YOU! Rest in peace.
We should all have such courage and love; inspiration from him may help us all to do better. Indeed, Rest in Peace and Power, John Lewis.
thats a living legend amd american hero. let him enjoy his life. i love it!!!!
A truly great American. RIP John Lewis.
A salute to a hero and a true warrior.
That was so nice to watch.
Unreal when he goes to crowd surf... great feeling. It's not often that Mr. Colbert is so humbled by his guest
Valuable American spirit right there
are u another liberal muslim who came to US 5 minutes ago?
Are you another salty republican bragging about immigration and about how immigrants will ruin the mighty 'murica.
Blea ch :D I like your attitude but I am afraid I don't even believe in God since if there was any then my ancestors wouldn't invade another continent, kill its natives and produce creatures like you so that slavery keeps happening for ever
As an aryan European I like to call people like that lively man the America
You and your friends have been expired for a long time

This was actually pretty moving. I enjoyed this very much

He does not want his name on bloody bridge.
I was 7 yrs old.
Marian Regina Snipes Then we should rebuild a new bridge, a better bridge, and name it for him.
I have nothing but respect for this man.
That's because you're stupid.
yankeegrey2810 no. I respect this brother because of his accomplishments. You are the one are stupid.
And why? Because he is a peaceful protester that believes you shouldn't just stand by while something bad happens?
+yankeegrey2810 there's always a few of you

This is a treasure. What a great man. The crowd surfing made me smile.
John Lewis is such an incredible man, it brings me to tears that we’ve lost him.

His favorite song was "Happy" by Pharrell. There are clips of him dancing to Happy at an office party. He kept his simple childlike joy until the day he left us.

This guy is awesome. Super calm, nice, and understanding
Lovely, courageous man!! Rest in peace, Mr Congressman. 🕊
Excellent, thank you for the inspiration! Heard you, Congressman Lewis and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at the March on Washington August 28, 1963 as a little girl.

You live under a rock, buddy.

Don't give up on finding the answer
James, if you're seriously interested in this remarkable man, I HIGHLY suggest you read his book "Walking With The Wind."

Now 59.
Make that 93 dislikers
Good thing you are stereotyping people by only knowing one thing about them
Crowd Surfing..... he looked a bit nervous LOL, he wasn't expecting that one!
At the end where colbert lifted his fists up in the air..... full of joy. This move made me laugh. Fallons fake laughing is nothing against that.
RIP John Lewis. I just hope that we can make you proud one day. You gave your life for this country. Least we can do is honor your legacy
Seeing John Lewis crowsurf put a big grin on my face. Just what the week needed.
Probably one of the best Colbert videos I've seen! Ever! Great interview (I didn't know about this guy), great ending.
I wish we had politicians this smooth.
Absolute legend. Men like him were literally willing to die for what they believed in. Some did.
Im humbled born in 1956 can remember mommas tears. Adults business!
Lol...That's so funny the Congressman crowd surfing....terrible lost
Never wouldve guess he'd mention Troy, AL. I'd be surprised if most people even knew there was a Troy, AL.
Rest In Peace, you magnificent man.
I totally see John Lewis crowd surfing his way into Heaven. I can just see it now .....

A giant among men. Rest easy big guy🥰
