John Lewis was an extraordinary man. It's a tremendous loss for America. I will never forget his passionate speeches. They pierced humanity in ways impossible to deny. John Lewis made a difference. I find it tragic, horribly tragic, that the republican party refused to fix the voting rights act before his death.

I've learned a lot about John Lewis in recent days thanks to great media coverage. All I can say is wow .. a great man and a true Patriot.

When a great man or woman dies great people show up to show respect and great things age talked about ... that's what I saw this morning. The absence of the Trump family felt right to me.

It feels to me like John Lewis is still serving America in the sense that those gathered to celebrate his life are broadcasting to the World that America is still sane and relevant........

From what I've come to know about John Lewis, 'well done, good and faithful servant' seems a fitting tribute. Rest in peace.

    Quoting  :

Yes...
There is much to be learned from John Lewis..Most of Us don't face the kind adversity that many black people have faced...But the adversity we face is still adversity.. People like John Lewis and Barrack Obama are exceptional. John Lewis even more so than Obama.. It is in their nature of perseverance with the view that adversity needs to be met with disappointment and not anger. Perseverance with that idea that anger leads to hate and is rarely overcome and disappointment can always be overcome.

Unlike our current President...When the outcome is revealed it's never about winning or losing..It's about fighting the GOOD fight, and winning or losing is just a mirage.

Obama has picked up the mantle! Don't dare disregard him as a leader!
