I don't understand how "some" people can be so determined, their convictions so strong that they're willing to give their lives. I wish I had a fraction of his determination. As an immigrant, I always asked myself who should I thank for my successes and for being admitted to this great nation? NOW, I know - Thanks JOHN LEWIS. All immigrants in this country are in debt to you!

There are few public figures I have true love for. He was one of them. He risked and sacrificed so much to make our country a better place. He was the voice of conscience demanding our nation be accountable to its highest values. “We want our freedom, and we want it now!” Amen, Brother. No one carried themselves with greater dignity. I'm not sure anyone else ever will. You may rest now in Power and in Peace, Congressman Lewis. Your immeasurable service to our nation is done. We love you, and we will miss you dearly. And we will never forget what you did, or the courage it took.

A white dude from a distant shore, but moved nonetheless by the inspirational lessons of what John Lewis did and what he achieved! Rest In Power and be at Peace, Congressman John Lewis. The lessons of your incredible life shall be eternal like your spirit!!

Sherry Lawson, You should check out the archived footage from "Bloody Sunday", March 7, 1965 at the Edmund Pettus Bridge, which you can see right here on youtube; maybe it'll help jog your memory. You'll see that there were no limousines present. The only people riding were the "citizen deputies" of Sheriff Clark, mounted on horses. If you know what to look for--and you do, since you were there--you can see John Lewis and Hosea Williams at the front of the 600-and-some marchers. Representative Lewis is the young gent with the light-colored raincoat and the backpack. Moments after Major Cloud ordered them to turn around and go back to Brown's Chapel, Rep. Lewis was struck in the head by state troopers, and his skull was fractured. Many, many others among the marchers were injured as well. You saw it. You were there. After such vivid events, I don't understand why your memories appear to have failed you, unless it's due to the passage of time. ;-D

The Democrat party (known in the South as the Dixiecrats) were the party of racist values until Lyndon B Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which granted all black Americans the inalienable right to vote. This sent the Democrat party into disarray and lost him the support of the South. Then Richard Nixon capitalized on this lost demographic with The Southern Strategy (a forward appeal to pissed off Southerners and racists). Since then, the Republican party has become the much more conservative party and unfortunately, the one that most racists support. This is also why we have men like Donald Trump in the Republican party, who literally uses the famous KKK slogan "America First," and why the KKK love him for it. I'd highly recommend taking a HIS 236 class in college (American History 1945 - Present). It's very insightful and will teach you a lot about who we are and how we got here.
