JOHN LEWIS: IN HIS OWN WORDS



 
Thursday concluded the memorial services for Congressman John Lewis who died on 17 July 2020 due to pancreatic cancer.

First, the obligatory fuck cancer remark

And second, I had something written but it did not do him justice. We throw around the word legend, but he was one and we were honored to be in his presence for the 80 years he was on this Earth.

This is a small sample of the numerous speeches that Lewis gave, but if someone was to ask me who was John Lewis, I would show them some of these videos to give a glimpse of who he was.
