John Lewis is a real american hero! RIP
John Lewis really was such an incredible man to have ever been around so much of the Civil Rights Movement, and then along with other marchers, later on in his and America's life. This is a true story: when I was 13, my family and I had saw him being interviewed by the news, about Obama's first Inauguration and when I was unaware of who he was and such after we had our picture with him, (when not many teachers have discussed him, nor taught me more of the people around the CRM) my mother told me all about him, and I was just amazed at how he has seen so much in his eyes and in his heart, for what he wanted to see America stand for, just like with MLK Jr. And now that he sadly passed on, it's gonna take a whole lot of heart and motivation to remember all that he wanted us to do, when it comes to voting and marching peacefully for Peace, Love, Hope, and for Black Lives that matter. John Lewis, thank you for your "good trouble" and thank you for motivating me to keep on being positive for what continues to go on in this country, no matter what the crisis is and who is running it.
Thank God for this man who helped our country change. Rest in peace to an American hero 🇱🇷
What an absolute amazing and inspirational persons I ever heard. RIP my friend from a white republican who loves all people. Please note I will be in Alabama in September and plan to honor you live on Facebook Live ar the bridge. You have deeply inspired me!!!
Thank you, may God please bless you and your family!
R.I.P. John Lewis.
One of the greatest, most important human beings of the last 100 years. Love John Lewis.
"The spirit of history..." Rest in peace Mr. Lewis.
He left an historical marker on America’s heart.
All of them.....the courage is breathtaking even now.
This what he talks about is every much part of America! Never forget!
Name the bridge after John Lewis.
God bless his soul and may this great man now Rest In Peace. Gone. But never forgotten.
The unconscionable hatred this giant of a man enured. Rest in power, Mr. Lewis. You've earned it, sir.

Those that thump down for whatever reason need to understand that John Lewis will always have a place in history.

The Pulitzer prize winner, said the Beast Of Racism, that's the perfect term for racism,The Beast
Racism comes on behalf of satan, God commanded that we love each other as He loves us and the way we love ourselves. The racists are blinded by the devil, we must pray for them.
A great MAN. Fearless. I wish more people had his spirit❗
Mr. Lewis was an American HERO 🇺🇸He endured much abuse that made a true impact enabling equality. Immense respect for this man of bravery, intelligence and grace. A true patriot of peace. Thank you sir for making this world a much better place. ☮️💟🛐🕊🌹🕯

I’ve never seen a memorial or statue and never knew knew his name. I live in Troy and ran a business in Selma AL and never heard his name! When integration came I was going to a new high school! The school had a grade point average of 3.6 on a 4 point grade point avg! 4 yrs later mist white families moved out and moved outside and built expensive homes and new schools! The new schools didn’t offer free breakfasts and lunches! And our football, baseball teams were number 1 in all city sports and state conferences! The giv literally gave them homes and 2 yrs later the homes were trashed the lawn were bare dirt and they still make up over 75% of all people in the housing projects! We’ve GIVEN THEM AND STILL DO give them welfare food stamps 1/2 price for utilities that whites can’t get! Don’t tell me that’s fare!
Micky Deloach your ignorance is breathtaking.
First
John lewis did nothing specifically for BLACK people, but he spoke up for LGBT and IMMIGRANTS.
yeah that whole lunch counter sit-in and freedom rides NEVER did anything for Blacks whew you are not bright
@@mauricescribner7025 Thank you
If you have issues with black people, LGBT and immigrants you have a problem because you are uneducated. You have been given everything and still can't accomplish sh**! Don't blame others because you are dumb Robert. You can fix it! You still have time to go back to school and get an education. They have school online as well. If you can't read go find a tutor because right now you are a simpleminded person showing how stupid you are. We forgive you though. God is LOVE!
@@mauricescribner7025 all symbolism, i am free to go and sleep at a $2,000 a night hotel. I am free to eat at a $700 dollar plate resteraunt. As long as i don't own that hotel or resteraunt.
Robert Fletcher I don’t know what’s worse your reply or your spelling or misspelling of restaurant. Anyway, it’s obvious you can’t open a closed mind.
Jesus is the only way into Heaven. Repent and ask Him into your life. Cleanse you from ALL unrighteousness. Make Him your Lord & your Savior. One day, YOU will enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
The way the press has been acting you'd think he was John Paul II or Mother Teresa. There's no doubt he was brave and heroic in young adulthood, as a Congressman not so much.
How wasn’t he ? He always stood strong on his moral values something missing today in politics and he has did well by the people of his district.
Which begs the question, what have you done to improve your country, lately?😉
So he's dead.ok.lets move on
