RIP: John Lewis

“Hold only love, only peace in your heart, knowing that the battle of good to overcome evil is already won.”

“Choose confrontation wisely, but when it is your time don’t be afraid to stand up, speak up, and speak out against injustice.”

“When you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have to speak up. You have to say something; you have to do something”

“We are involved now in a serious revolution,” it says in March: Book Two, published in 2015. “This nation is still a place of cheap political leaders who build their careers on immoral compromises and ally themselves with open forms of political, economic and social exploitation.”

– John Lewis.

Rep. John Lewis doesn’t want today’s fighters to give up. “You must be able and prepared to give until you cannot give any more,’ he says. ‘We must use our time and our space on this little planet that we call Earth to make a lasting contribution.”
