I’ve been helping my baby bro move and missed responding to this important post.

John Lewis was a giant among men, plain and simple. He put us on his back to make the right to vote possible. He nearly lost his life being beaten over equality. The younger generation really needs to educate themselves on his contributions to our freedoms as a people. Rest in power King. You’ve earned it.

John Lewis was one of the greats. I do not mean to rank anybody but his work was right up there with Dr. King as far as importance goes. But I have to admit I was unfamiliar with C. T. Vivian until right now. I have some research to do to find out more about this man. May both of them take their rest in peace.

John Lewis was “one of the greatest heroes of American history.”

We stand on the shoulders of giants like THIS humble and genuinely good man. A man who Loved his people. Loved ALL people. Loved his country even when that Love asked that he shed a bit of his his blood.

His unwavering belief in that great American idea and the “dream” of a King- that ALL men are truly created Equality – prompted him to get into “good trouble”…”necessary trouble” in pursuit of seeing that idea and hat dream…become a reality. And he never ever gave in to despair.

May he Rest in Peace.
