I will always look to the example of John Lewis when I feel like dropping out.

Remember and revere John Lewis! I am thankful he is not here to witness the madness happening now.

From preaching to the chickens in his birth home as a child to the hallways of Congress, his voice echoes from the past to tell us the fight is not over.

We must persevere and continue the fight to preserve our democracy and the right to live in a land shaped by many and not just a few.

Preaching to chickens puts a different light on my granddaughter debating her cat. 🐈‍⬛

Jeffries is a disgrace to Lewis’s legacy. Book signing instead of protesting.

A pillar in our American story that is so missed.

He is a great hero. A fearless warrior

Let start acting like him and our representatives should be forcing them to arrest them that is what John Lewis would be doing

We can hope for someone like John Lewis to come along again.
I see no one who can fill his space. 😔

We stand on the shoulders of great people who came before us, men and women who put country before all else. They had ideals they aspired to and made life better for everyone. I appreciate the work and sacrifice each of them made. My humble respects to one of these great people, John Robert Lewis.

We desperately need another John Lewis instead of the Jerry Lewis we have.

They are stealing your vote and the laws are being ignored. The violent law breaking options may be necessary to save the country.
