I never met him but he made me so proud. Proud to be black and proud because he was extremely passionate. On making ALL men be treated equal. Thank you John Lewis. RIP 💔🙏🏾💖
Thank you for your Sacrifice, your Patience, your Struggle, your Wisdom, your Experience and your Courage. May God bless you for being the statesman and elder to our new generation of Freedom Fighters for Equity and Justice. Even today as you stood during the 60s. You made “Us “Proud. Take your seat at the right hand of our Creator and we will remember you in “our” history books along with many others who sat down then so we can stand up today. Bless you Brother John Lewis.

Thank you for all you have given to this world. 🙏🙏🙏
Rest in peace
My condolences to the family and prayers are with you and my prayers are with you
Rest in Peace Rep Mr. John Lewis
So much History in this country like the United States of America
Mr. Lewis was a very brave and intelligent man, who was brutally beaten for marching in Selma. His policy of passive resistance is so admirable. I will miss him but at the very least, the poor soul is no longer suffering. Fly high, my dear!
Rep. Lewis was truly anointed. I declare as his sister he will be truly missed. I know he is sitting at the right hand of the Father. Rest in peace my brother. My condolences to his family.
The words of Jesus.
Matthew 7:17-21 KJV
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. [18] A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. [19] Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. [20] Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. [21] Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
But he hate “Whitey” to the core …. can’t sit with Papa ..
