- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi paid tribute to her longtime friend and colleague, the late civil rights leader and Congressman John Lewis, at his funeral at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta. "He taught us so much," Pelosi said. Watch her full remarks.
Nancy did a good job trying not to breakdown in tears. All the tributes were spoken from the heart.
You do know that she has no heart right?
Speaker Pelosi gave a wonderful eulogy. She was so emotional...🇺🇸🥰
Ikr, I cried for her, such a beautiful heartfelt speech.
@@colorpurple4623 something to notice about most of her speeches, she barely references her notes...I think that is because she gives heartfelt words and condolences. No matter her politics (I am registered as unaffiliated but lean left), she is a good woman.
@Daphne Harvey you're right Daphne. Just like we all know how and why Herman Cain died...there were a lot of very ugly things said about the situation on Twitter by people I follow and agree with most of the time. I probably had something nasty to say about too when he was first diagnosed. But there really is no reason have 10,000 tweets (or more, IDK) stating the Mr Cain didn't wear a mask to the rally and he caused his own death. Unfortunately we know he was persuaded by politics to not protect himself and has paid the ultimate price. I guess his family and associates are fortunate that the news cycle will lose interest soon and Mr Cain can RIP.
To all the nasty remarks writers. No break even at a funeral ceremony in a church? How rotten n bitter can one be?? Sending you all a much needed blue wave of light and 💘.
They (Democrats)worship satan...give them a break.
I agree some people are so evil that they can't hold their hatred ,even at a funeral or church
This is making an old man cry tears of sentimental sadness (me). So many to share with everyone what a great man John Lewis was to all. RIP Honorable John Lewis RIP.
You are sick. Maybe if you're black you loved him, but he was a racist. His district in Atl. is also awful and always has been. I'm glad he's dead.
Todd Tolford What a sad sad person you are.
When you die...wonder who will speak on your behalf???
@@toddtolford8516 Good grief, you're an idiot.
@@toddtolford8516 How would you know that he was a racist Todd since you have no idea of what a racist is,and oh by the way if John Lewis was a Racist,as a black man he had a right to hate all Racist white people and people like you, but because he believed in Jesus and his teaching he learn how to forget and forgive, now what is your excuse you hater of all black because of their skin color. study to show you are ready and able to criticize before you start to put your thoughts in writing.
we are slowly losing those who fought to give us the life we have today. But the fight isnt over.
not true, they sold out long ago.
@@debralegorreta1375 how did these American heros sell out
@Sunshine Leigh I agree 100% it's the new generations turn to take the lead
A beautiful speech. America has lost a great champion for democracy.

Wonder if she gave her servants the day off to watch ?
She spoke so well , and you can tell the love for all is real
The only people that click the, "Dislike" button and make nasty comments at ANYONE'S Homegoing, are people who has hate in their heart. Father God forgive them!
@Tanner 101 I will say the same thing about anyone disrespecting someone's HOMEGOING! Two wrongs don't make a RIGHT!!!
No one else honored by three presidents. ❤ Thank you Mr. Lewis for fulfilling Gods calling to you. God help us to continue the fight until the beast of prejudice and injustice are no more.
Johnny boy was one of the biggest racists in government.

Ms Pelosi, Thank You for telling the people about this wonderful man's life, and how he wanted equality for Everyone. You have done a Beautiful Eulogy for Mr. John Lewis. RIP Congressman John Lewis. You will be missed!
LOve you Nancy and thank you for your service and for this eulogy.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi is an amazing woman. She has the right touch. She is powerful as a leader, yet tender as a person. Thank you, we have your back.
A touching tribute to John Lewis. His life is a testament to courage and love in action. I appreciated every one who spoke, sharing your stories and what he meant to you. He meant so much to our country.
My condolences to the family, friends,colegas and the USA for his lost.Thanks for the legacy you left behind, I hope we won’t forget..
Rest In Peace in senator John Lewis🌈✨⚡️
Beautiful Speaker of the house Pelosi. One of Mr. John Lewis Close Confidant’s😀👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Pelosi hasn't done 1% of what John Lewis accomplished. she is a complete joke
stew bab oh was Trump there? I didn't see him.
@@laurak5196 Im quite certain DT wasn't invited...you cant really think Pelosi is a quality human or productive public servant.....look how bad of shape her own district is in !! does she seem real bright in your view. the other question...where was Hillary yesterday ? why wasn't she there ? her calendar was full ? I also wonder why Obama didn't make progress with these civil rights issues while he was prez for 8 years ?? the entire political system is a joke....don't be fooled by either side......ever wonder why people like Pelosi continue to gain more and more personal wealth while they stay in office ??
@LA Ryan little fella- you missed the point. your lack of education and below average mind continue to hinder you. you live in a small apartment and can't maintain a meaningful job. why were you always picked last at recess ?
stew bab are you voting for Putin's puppet? Just curious. Thanks.
This was really sad I agree. Congressman Lewis touched so many lives. Speaker Pelosi was really hurting a huge lost for the US Congressman. I know the angels are singing welcome John. I am certain he made it in the gates of heaven by now. Thank You John Lewis. You will be missed! Prayers to your son and extended family my God keep you all in perfect peace!! Amen
🌨️🙏He is a hero. We should strive to show such courage in the face of Tyranny and injustice. The struggle is still not over. Thank you, John the lion heart. May the Angels sing thee home. Amen.🙏
My Heart is Full and Knowing That So Many Celebrate His Life and Accomplishments with me is Amazing !!
Glory be to God !!
he did a good job in Memphis !!!
Such a beautiful speech. I'm in tears. Wow.
In tears with laughter. 😂
@Zeek Banistor Thanks for the info. I never heard of him until he died. 🙂
She loved him you can tell. He was an amazing man may he fly with the angels. I pray we all get out there and vote vote vote vote vote.
Adams Newman
The Demoncrats don't want us to "get out there & vote vote vote".. They want mail-in ballot voting so that they can control the outcome. Mail-in method doesn't validate the person's Identity.
At the end of the day YAHWEH controls the outcome
@@siciliansistah who is us? Last I checked we were all American citizens. I'm disabled and rely on the mail and ballad. My record is impeccable. You know you can check on that right? You can request your voting history and that will show you every single thing you voted for every election going back to when you voted. So when I could no longer go to the polls physically I have tracked it every term. Not one single discrepancy.
she only loves her ice cream and $20,000 fridge
@@deb3376 why are you guys so full of hatred? I haven't said anything negative. The ice cream she was eating was from a small business. She was trying to support it it's now out of business are you happy now? That was the whole point. To support small businesses that are going under. Or did that that tell you that? Here in my town many businesses have gone under because the people sitting in Congress and Senate took all the money for their families. You know the ones related to corporations and businesses. So let's not be judgy we're talking about a man's burial. Have some respect. There was nothing political about my statement other than she loved him you can tell. How does that offend you.
@@adamsnewman5480 hate??? no, that would be someone supporting pres trump and getting shot..that's hate..small businesses are being hamstringed from opening due to dems..you can go and participate in riots, but not open ur small business...
Thank you Speaker Pelosi for your sincere, heartfelt remarks honoring John Lewis. Rest In Peace dear Congressman John Lewis. 💞🙏🏻💫
If you don’t like her, don’t watch. Just go away.
Madam Nancy’s heartfelt speech made my eyes wet and blurry to watch! RIP John Lewis

Nancy Pelosi is make me cry.
Madam Speaker of The House!! that speech was simply beautiful, you can see and feel the love she has for the honorable John Lewis. She did her best to hold back the tears, I cried for her. RIP. SIR JOHN LEWIS.
*WE ARE THE NEXT GENERATION*
Of leaders, advocates, civil right fighters. Its our job to continue the fight the generation before us started!
Which generation are you talkin about exactly?
Um, there is no need to fight anymore? Everything is equal?
Future America is something to worry about.🤔

Sure, Trump, "delay" the election...President Pelosi has a nice ring to it.
It really doesnt
Pelosi would be out too. No election, no President, and no House either. So she would be skipped in succession...
@@JD021 your wrong. She would be President.
@@biffdorkinton555 no, vice president mike pence would be in charge if anything happens with trump
@@biffdorkinton555 You're* and no she wouldn't, how would she be President if there is no election? She has to be re-elected to be Speaker which puts her in the line of succession. Actually she would be out before Trump if there were no election, Trump would have till the 20th of January.
Think if you would have had Lewis as president instead of Trump.... the whole world would have changed, the world would have got conscience... but we live in a very different world now.
we only allow evil to change us, always remember the good john and his friend nancy fights for. we dont live in a different world, it just the haters think they have right of way. its on every good person to remind them...sorry, you dont and we are taking our country back from your chance to run it

A well deserved wonderful tribute. It is so refreshing to listen to leaders and past presidents speak so professionally, intelligently, and eloquently, met he Rest In Peace and may we all continue his work.
Nancy Pelosi's speech brought me to tears. It was very moving
Same here because she started crying and make me cry too , such a wonderful lady.
Her speech made me throw up!
"We loved him very much." Such sweet caring words. RIP Rep John Lewis. Yes he's home in heaven with the angels.
He was a racist hater. his district is also in awful shape. I live in Atlanta and know.
What a beautiful service it was!😢
@@toddtolford8516 you idiot you have no idea of who John Lewis was, or what he was about
But this is typically of the minds of people like you.
@@toddtolford8516 Really I suspect you.are a Trump supporter, and believe every thing Trump says. If you live in Alanta Ga. What have you done to help the situation that you speak about except to criticize?
@Cody Williams You are a hateful white boy who hates blacks and other nations of people because they are not the same skin color as you are. But Sonny boy I refuse to hate, because I want to enter heaven when I die ,but if I hate people for what ever reason, I can't and will not enter heaven. But since you are free white and twenty one you go on and continue to hate.
Unbelievable the amount of dislikes and comments... Filled with such vile, evil, & disgusting remarks.
No class. No morals or values.
Eric Mercado. I think that we all just need to start ignoring all these kinds of people. Obviously they weren’t raised to respect anyone.
HOUSE SPEAKER NANY PELOSI. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR PRECIOUS MEMORIES. WHEN YOU SPOKE ABOUT FLAG LOWERED AND THE TWO RAINBOWS OVER HIS CASKET BROUGHT ME TO TEARS. LOVE YOU NANCY P.
Very emotional ppl you work with become like family.
What a touching tribute to a wonderful Statesman. Truly moving. Rest in Power Mr. Lewis! We were honored to have you represent all of us in US Congress. As a NY Democrat I am proud to count among our ranks such a figure of compassion, humility and indomitable integrity. His character is truly inspirational to all. Mr. Lewis! You have fought a good fight. We will continue to keep moving! Thank You Sir for Your service to our country.🥰🇺🇸🌹🌹🌹
Definitely was NOT a statesman. He was VILE to Kavanaugh. He was hateful to trump and family. That's not how Christians act.
Chad Matthew Trump is a pitiful excuse of a “man”. Speaker Pelosi put him in his place. Trump and his syndicate (family) should be banned from being in Washington DC. They are unscrupulous, toxic, dysfunctional human beings and are not worthy to represent the American people. We need real leaders who serve our nation. Trump only serves himself. He is a killer of Americans.
Being Christlike is not waving the Bible in front of a closed church building, while your actions include cheating on your wife with prostitutes, lusting after teenage girls and groping unwilling women. Being Christlike is not having a love of money, a mouth speaking lies or denigrating women, disparaging the disabled, bullying, whining, self-pitying with poor morals and of weak character. Jesus told off those who cast stones at a woman. He humbly washed the feet of his disciples. He fed the poor. He spoke plainly. He was not a coward. He led by his own perfect example. Are we done here? Cause I read the Bible.
There is nothing Christlike in the current administration. Our country is suffering while the rich are profiteering thanks to your dear greedy leader. “The heart of the wise dwells in the House of mourning, while the heart of fools is in the House of Mirth”.
Eccl. 4 “The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.”
I respected John Lewis very MUCH. He wanted equality for Blacks and was loved and respected by all people, all colors. AMERICA has lost a Great Person. RIP Sir!!! Condolences to the family. God Bless.
Classy woman❤️
Beautiful speech from speaker Pelosi and our former presidents of the United States of America jmw
I love you Nancy before you speak.
Zeek Banistor 👍🏻😂
Wow, Nancy, you are really bringing it!
A double rainbow....😪😪😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I didn't see the doulble rainbow in this case. But I have sern one years ago she I was a little girl. I cannot recall how old I was, but the moment Pelosi said it, it got me all teary eyed...I was born in 1963, I wonder if I saw that double rainbow in the sky the day Dr. Martin Luther King past on. I would have been five years old. RIP Rep. Lewis🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😔
Beautiful,heartfelt,made me cry, he will be missed.our country needs more Nancy Pelosi's spirit
Simply beautiful heartfelt eulogy Ms Pelosi, he was indeed all that you say. From New Zealand with love.
Eloquently said
This was the same church where Dr. King used to go to but the Almighty Creator saved him and took him before the age of 41, the age of responsibility therefore, he did not fall into Idol Worshiping a fake name Jesus which, you would never find this man-made name in the original Bible in Aramaic language nor in the Arabic Quran. That was why the Almighty Creator kicked out all of those 4200 fake and false religions all over the world from their places of Idol Worship by this pandemic because of their illegitimate religious practices. The man you are praising did not make it at the Almighty Creator because, he nullified all of his works by falling into Idol Worship which is the only unforgivable sin. That was a sad news.
No idea what you are on about. Make it simple.
Mr. John Lewis, Thank you for the good fight. But the fight is not over. WE SHELL OVER COME.
Shell? Oh! Seashells!
The best most elegant eulogy. Thank you Nancy for not politicizing this great man's homecoming
Nancy we love you , keep fighting for us #Biden2020
It is a shame that we still live in America with so many hatred people mr. Lewis have fight a good fight now he's gone to be with our Heavenly Father which all us will do one day if we love one another and respect one another and get hatred out of our heart and repent to the Lord Jesus Christ for the sins that we did to one another you can always be forgiven. I see some very disturbing comments this man is deceased it is a shame that people will fall to the lowest level I'm going to tell you story about a man named Billy Lee he was one of my patients I was a home care nurse Billy Lee was a white supremacist and he did not believe in God yes he has called me the n word but I still went and take care of Mr Billie Lee he had cancer but at that time the cancer was not bother him bad but he still could not walk and do the things that he wanted to do but I will get him up shower him save him do all the things that are home care nurse to I was with him about three years I would pray for him that the cancer would not be so painful if he had family they did not come around to see about him so we took a lot of crap off of Billy Lee but we took care of him because that way I job and no matter what we showed him love but before Billy left this Earth the pain of the cancer was so bad Billy Lee he cried out and he called Jesus Christ name I would never forget that day and I told mr. Billy Lee to ask God to forgive you for everything you did and he did Billy Lee died the next day and I always believed in my heart that the Lord forgave him for all his sins so we got to stop being hatred because all of us don't get that chance like Billy Lee Williamson jmw
I hope your right but its sad that his entire life he hated n hurt so many n in an instant God forgave him.
Thank you for sharing your story. You sound like you have that strong perseverance Pres.Obama just talked abt. At the funeral. Let us all come together make good trouble make white establishment follow thru on the promises made to all americans, not just privileged ones. I will pray for you, too that your life be goodb that your hard work give you the life you've earned.

John Lewis, the civil rights leader and congressman who died on July 17, wrote this essay shortly before his death: Opinion | John Lewis: Together, You Can Redeem the Soul of Our Nation
While my time here has now come to an end, I want you to know that in the last days and hours of my life you inspired me. You filled me with hope about the next chapter of the great American story when you used your power to make a difference in our society. Millions of people motivated simply by human compassion laid down the burdens of division. Around the country and the world you set aside race, class, age, language and nationality to demand respect for human dignity.
That is why I had to visit Black Lives Matter Plaza in Washington, though I was admitted to the hospital the following day. I just had to see and feel it for myself that, after many years of silent witness, the truth is still marching on.
Emmett Till was my George Floyd. He was my Rayshard Brooks, Sandra Bland and Breonna Taylor. He was 14 when he was killed, and I was only 15 years old at the time. I will never ever forget the moment when it became so clear that he could easily have been me. In those days, fear constrained us like an imaginary prison, and troubling thoughts of potential brutality committed for no understandable reason were the bars.
Though I was surrounded by two loving parents, plenty of brothers, sisters and cousins, their love could not protect me from the unholy oppression waiting just outside that family circle. Unchecked, unrestrained violence and government-sanctioned terror had the power to turn a simple stroll to the store for some Skittles or an innocent morning jog down a lonesome country road into a nightmare. If we are to survive as one unified nation, we must discover what so readily takes root in our hearts that could rob Mother Emanuel Church in South Carolina of her brightest and best, shoot unwitting concertgoers in Las Vegas and choke to death the hopes and dreams of a gifted violinist like Elijah McClain.
Like so many young people today, I was searching for a way out, or some might say a way in, and then I heard the voice of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on an old radio. He was talking about the philosophy and discipline of nonviolence. He said we are all complicit when we tolerate injustice. He said it is not enough to say it will get better by and by. He said each of us has a moral obligation to stand up, speak up and speak out. When you see something that is not right, you must say something. You must do something. Democracy is not a state. It is an act, and each generation must do its part to help build what we called the Beloved Community, a nation and world society at peace with itself.
Ordinary people with extraordinary vision can redeem the soul of America by getting in what I call good trouble, necessary trouble. Voting and participating in the democratic process are key. The vote is the most powerful nonviolent change agent you have in a democratic society. You must use it because it is not guaranteed. You can lose it.
You must also study and learn the lessons of history because humanity has been involved in this soul-wrenching, existential struggle for a very long time. People on every continent have stood in your shoes, through decades and centuries before you. The truth does not change, and that is why the answers worked out long ago can help you find solutions to the challenges of our time. Continue to build union between movements stretching across the globe because we must put away our willingness to profit from the exploitation of others.
Though I may not be here with you, I urge you to answer the highest calling of your heart and stand up for what you truly believe. In my life I have done all I can to demonstrate that the way of peace, the way of love and nonviolence is the more excellent way. Now it is your turn to let freedom ring.
When historians pick up their pens to write the story of the 21st century, let them say that it was your generation who laid down the heavy burdens of hate at last and that peace finally triumphed over violence, aggression and war. So I say to you, walk with the wind, brothers and sisters, and let the spirit of peace and the power of everlasting love be your guide.

Tina Taylor247 I respect that John Lewis made a stand for Civil Rights...HE earns respect for that. He was quite hateful and losing it the past few years but he was old and not thinking clearly. His grandstanding was awkward. But Nancy? She’s just a career politician living large off the taxpayer for salary, pension and then her greedy kickbacks. She gets no respect from me. I’m not bitter...just aware.

He was so worthy cause he was clubbed in the head for voting rights and trying to do his part to make a better life for black people knowing his own struggles but he was for all people rights.
Very emotional moment when the masked "secretary" choked-up while reading the acceptance of resolution. Mr. Lewis earned hella respect during his life, from "good trouble".
Nancy did a fine job. TY
Awesome
4:37 Nancy brought up two Sanskrit words, *Satya Graha,* to describe John Lewis.
Those words meant "non-violence" and "insistence on the truth", characterizing perfectly John Lewis.
Although why she would quote Sanskrit words, pleasant to hear but surely rarely done by American politicians (or Americans, period), is beyond me.
I have 2 Sanskrit tattoos and I’m a black American. I think it’s beautiful and peaceful, maybe that’s why she used them.
Somewhere in the back of my mind, I remember that John Lewis met the Dalai Lama, and they got on well together. So Sanskrit would have meaning to him.
@@wahyuindrasto he was taught about civil disobedience by the Rev. James Lawson, who was a leading theoretician and tactician of nonviolence within the Civil Rights Movement (per Wikipedia: in the 50's he went as a Methodist missionary to Nagpur, India, where he studied satyagraha, a form of nonviolence resistance developed by Mohandas Gandhi and his followers). He was actually there at the funeral.
Damn Nacy done got me crying 😢
Wow 30 years
OmgOSH. Nancy VERY WELL DONE. JOHN WOULD BE PROUD. RIP John LEWIS...
