A real hero. It is sad we have so few politicians who are willing to put themselves on the line for their beliefs. We have a president who wants to play tough, but he could not have even dealt with 1/100 of the stuff that John Lewis had to endure.

Rest in peace. A real American hero. Saw a great picture of Lewis, MLK, and JFK at the White House. A part of history.

A man of substance that demonstrated leadership.
America greatness is its struggle to move forward. Not print nonsense on a hat.
