FILE - In this Wednesday, Oct. 10, 2007, file photo, with the Capitol Dome in the background, U.S. Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., is seen on Capitol Hill in Washington. Lewis, who carried the struggle against racial discrimination from Southern battlegrounds of the 1960s to the halls of Congress, died Friday, July 17, 2020.
Lewis was the youngest and last survivor of the Big Six civil rights activists, a group led by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. that had the greatest impact on the movement. He was best known for leading some 600 protesters in the Bloody Sunday march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma. Lewis joined King and four other civil rights leaders in organizing the 1963 March on Washington. He spoke to the vast crowd just before King delivered his epochal “I Have a Dream” speech.
He ultimately attended the American Baptist Theological Seminary and Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee. He began organizing sit-in demonstrations at whites-only lunch counters and volunteering as a Freedom Rider, enduring beatings and arrests while traveling around the South to challenge segregation.
In an early setback for Barack Obama’s 2008 Democratic primary campaign, Lewis endorsed Hillary Rodham Clinton for the nomination. Lewis switched when it became clear Obama had overwhelming Black support. Obama later honored Lewis with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and they marched hand in hand in Selma on the 50th anniversary of the Bloody Sunday attack.
RitaCosby So that's where all of his hate and racism came from.

wewalkbyfaith88 Good man!God's blessing to the family!
He was a great man
luckylalakitty Thank You President Obama! For the Award Given To John Lewis which was rightfully Deserved! He was a Great Man!
Rest In Peace John.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Such a terrible loss for the American politics and the people who continue to fight for civil rights and racial equality. RIP, repjohnlewis. Sending my prayers and condolences to his family. 😕☹😔😑🙏✊✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿🌎🌍🇺🇸🖤💚💛❤
To be fighting about the same issues in 2020 as we were in the 60s shows how dumb and irrelevant this generation is. At least John Lewis’s generation died pioneers and originals. It’s really quite embarrassing that the only takeaway this generation retained was how to hate.
about time
RIP
RIP JohnLewis. 😢
I hope Mr. Lewis receives everything he deserves in the afterlife.
Did mean to say 'who galvanized support for the Civil rights movement?
Covid ?
Good riddance. He was a racist.
Someone may want to tell Marco Rubio who he was since he appears to be confused...
RIP JohnLewis JohnLewisBridge
Meanwhile we have The Donald who bestowed this most honorable gift to freaking Bigot Limbaugh, disgusting just unbelievable. Grrrrr
CreepyJoe new ad commercial ...
THIS MAN SOOO NEEDS TO BE HONORED!!! HE was a TRUE 'STATESMAN'! Something we are SORELY LACKING in this FUCKED UP COUNTRY!!! and I SERIOUSLY DOUBT that the current CROP of CONSERVA-FUCKERS is going to even CARE to do it!!! ESPECIALLY TRUMPTURD!!!
RIP Rep. John Lewis
Anyone else getting the sense that the individuals that Obama awarded those medals of freedom too were meant as protection? I mean Oprah, Hanks, Lewis and others who seem to be deeply involved with the cabal.
Day 31 and we are honoring the legacy of John Lewis by doubling down on our efforts to highlight and demand change to racism and racist practices in our nation's largest corporations.
I love pizza....🍕
Isn’t he the guy who didn’t show up at Trumps inauguration How racist of him!!!
He/Elijah Cummings are massive vacancies. Getting in neccessarytrouble as his marching orders is something I will never forget/continue to live by. This protester was outside DetroitDem debates of which I wasn't included- I'm still in the race and not giving up.SpeakerPelosi
John Lewis a man of great honor & integrity. He was a shining example of Matthew V5;C6 “Blessed are those that hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled”. America dry your tears time past time for crying, Rise UP & Stand UP for we have much work still to do.
It's a shame there can be no large gatherings for his funeral, Democrats have already said it is too dangerous to go to church!
R.I.P. Lewis.
Military die every day and don’t get a whisper in the press
He was a money hustler.
The Honorable Congressman John Lewis. A good friend and mentor, a true American hero. May you forever be remembered for your fight to end systemic racism and your courageous bravery in dark times. Thank you for your light! Rest in peace 'Never give up!'
My kids asked why I was crying when I heard this news.. what a good man and an American hero.. a life well- lived, thank you John Lewis, rest well !
Watch Selma.
This was epic
Is that medal for having the poorest dist in his State? Is it for having the highest crime pct per capita? Is it for having the highest welfare claims for the State? Is it for having the highest ahigh school drop out pct in his state? Is it for having the most CORRUPT police dist
😢💔🙏
Ok?

Hope
Democrats will turn his funeral into a bash festival against Trump.
Gone but never forgotten 😥
So, TrumpIsALaughingStock finally tweeted two short and ungrammatical sentences about John Lewis. He is sorry that the Senator is dead (I doubt that) and he and he porno model wife send their prayers (who do they pray to? Baal?)
Why the photo with War Criminal Obama?

John Lewis is no legend he is a Louis Farachon racist and a criminal to begin with, just because he is dead it dont change the facts!
There are MORE important issues in the world & ONE man's death is 'breaking news'? Children die every day, starvation, child slavery, child sex trafficking etc..& humans idolize & glorify another human as if they are a God?! JESUS is a legend, an icon, a star etc. NOT a human!
Alabama was a racist DEMOCRAT state. Wow, how about that.
1_Voter42 'A long and celebrated career.'? He was a corrupt SELL OUT & he played his constituents for SELF PROFIT. The jig is up we're all hip to the 'peaceful protest' crap now.

Abraham Lincoln once said, “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.”

Rest In Power John.
Term limits for the house and Senate. This is the only way to make them pass the torch.
I'm not sure why it is not trending as well, but on FoxNews that Rev Vivian a civil rights leader that marched with Rev Dr. Martin Luther King died on Friday. Perplexing the different treatment of John Lewis.
His accomplishments should be celebrated. He grew up in a time when segregation, mob lynchings and KKK terrorism against blacks were common. And police brutality was also more vicious, e.g. using dogs to attack people. America isn't perfect, but it has come a long way since then.
Thank you for your service Mr. Lewis, May you Rest In Peace.
RIP Lion Lewis.
We need more men like him in office to keep the rest of the politicians in check, he will be missed.
Get in some goodtrouble. We need comprehensive national policy to address systemic racism. Don't sit this out, & be complicit. Do something. Stop systemicracism. Sign the petition to form a US Truth and Reconciliation Commission USTRC
He was a true Hero is so many ways, he will be missed. My condolences to his family and friends. 🙏🏽🙏🏼🙏🏾
👋
I open Twitter to see a sweeping abundance of assholes denigrating John Lewis the day after his passing. Btwn that & Reichwing idiots defending dotard's secret police, safe to say I hate Twitter this week. I'm out. Good luck, everyone. People are scum. 2020YearOfTheSuck
For some time I have thought that the Edmund Pettus Bridge should be renamed the John Lewis Bridge. No time like the present. Let’s honor John Lewis properly! repjohnlewis ❤️
It was a long road to freedom, winding steep and high 🙏🏽 salute sir .
I see the condition he left his district in. Crime and filth, what else is new. Oh yea, great job John 😁
A warrior for a better world. JohnLewis we miss you already. RIP GoodTrouble
Finally some GoodNews
His legacy the past few months was tainted by his own Party's turn into a Militia, by ignoring his plea for peaceful protests, as was MLK's stance for peaceful protests, its apparent the New Dem Militia Party w/ Biden calling for 'redirecting' funding for 'enemy' Police is sad
Why don’t we just let the man pass away in peace? Why fight about it? A human being made in the image of God has died. Show some bloody respect.
We lost Grant Imahara earlier this week and now we lose a civil rights legend? For fuck's sake, 2020 is taking its toll.
RIP. This man died a horrible death, pancreatic cancer is one of the most suffering cancer. My dad died from it.
Not only was he a civil rights icon, he above all was a kind and decent man who fought constantly for people to live their lives without fear of reprisals. My condolences go out his family and friends. RIPJohnLewis CivilRightsICON
May god bless you and your family, Mr. Lewis. RIP
Thanks for the courage and strength my brother. The fights you engaged in took big cojones, way bigger than mine. Asante
Im heart is broken of loosing one of our civil rights icon. Mr. Lewis was a sample of a very strong man who wasnt afraid to stand up for what he believed in. The fight for justice is a life long fight bc the resistance is so strong. Rest In Power King Lewis
End of an era. RIP John Lewis...your legacy lives on!!🙏🏽🙏🏽
Good day and good riddance.
Mr. Lewis represents the very best of our nation-courage, commitment to justice, perseverance, and public service. May you Rest In Peace my friend. 💜
Whenever I think of the destruction of the black family, the increase of single parent homes, and abortions in the black community I think John Lewis.
Trump did it

😆😆😆 thank god this sambo is GONE
RevJJackson RIP the champion of liberty equality and justice for all JohnLewisDoc sure reunited and greeted by MLK will be missed forever especially when we needed him most Our country is crying My condolences to the family
U.S. Representative John Lewis, Thanks for everything you did for equal and civil rights for everyone. We Alabamians lead the way! We'll take it from here. Rest in peace.
Did they label his death due to COVID-19? Probably not b/c they don’t want to prevent his family from getting his life insurance policy payout due to a pandemic.
😪🙏🙏🙏
Rip/ may the lord be with him and his family/ you will be missed but never ever forgotten/ thanks for everything you ever done for this world
Finally some turn over in that Congressional seat...respect his prior work, but basically taking up space in congress..poster child for term limits..no one should hold a seat that long.
Rest in peace to an American hero

“I loved going to the library. It was the first time I ever saw Black newspapers and magazines like JET, Ebony, the Baltimore Afro-American, or the Chicago Defender. And I’ll never forget my librarian.” ― John Robert Lewis
Rename the Edmund Pettis Bridge in Selma, Alabama the John Lewis Bridge, immediately! He was one of my heroes. If one could achieve one-eighth of the courage and morality of John Lewis, then you are quite the man.
I'm glad to see this picture this morning. It is needed. RIPJohnLewis GoodTrouble and a good and great man.

No tears for someone who did nothing but collect money from his own people !!!!he once walked for his people, then the ideal of being rich took over his life !
FatGirlvsWorld I am glad you wrote about the National Museum of African American History and Culture. I don't think people know he was the driving force in Congress to make it a reality. Rest in Power, Congressman Lewis.
😭😭😭😭😭
NAChristakis This is a sad day for America. Rep. Lewis was a great statesman who spent his life seeking equality for all.
No, his beating didn't help galvanize opposition to segregation, your propaganda did Rabbi. Remember boys and girls, THEY want you desegregated because they believe your are all cattle, while they stay in their own neighborhoods segregated from you.
For many of ya'll, the black guy who ya'll thought died last year is actually dead now.... RIPJohnLewis ripElijahCummings
my heart is in pieces you did amazing work loss to all may you r.i.p🙏💕 Senator John Lewis thankyou for all you accomplishments you will be missed 😢

RIP. A man that did great things...became a bitter racist bigot in later years and came from a district that is still poor after 17 terms
Very sad news. Condolences to family and friends. May he RIP🌹
Rest in peace, Mr. Lewis. You are inspiration to everyone and your life mattered.
Few people did more and got in more “good trouble” than Rep. John Lewis, and to honor his life, we all need to start getting in good trouble of our own to take our country back from ignorance and hatred. Rest in power, sir.
I am sad he died but I don't subscribe to the 'great men of history' theory.
John Lewis and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Aretha Franklin, Patrick Swayze, Alan Rickman and thousands of non celebrities. Pancreatic cancer receives virtually no attention in comparison to cancers with FAR better prognosis! Please support finding a cure for this death sentence 🟪🟪🟪
John Lewis has earned an honorable place in history. This is something Trump and his minions will never achieve.
RIP
Will he get a gold coffin?
RIP hero of the Republic.

Too bad the nonviolent demonstration to uphold Democracy and America didn't stick with the new segregationists aka the BLM. It would have been a better world if the BLM would have stuck with real principals instead of violence. RIP John.
repjohnlewis was a real American hero. He was the kid in the white raincoat on the Selma March, was beaten by racist cops on the bridge. Went on to serve his country in many ways, as a writer & Congressional rep. A great man.
RIP late John Lewis. Racism must end n tolerance worldly brotherhood n peace must prevail.

Good ridden to this lying no good anti American This guy did little except attack the republicans who passed civil rights law He marched against racism Yet he became party to racist DemocratsThis clown praised Robert Byrdand called Trump a racist Trump gave Jesse Jackson a furnished entire building for his Rainbow coalition This Lewis led investigation into Trumps taxes from 20 years ago along with all Trumps family every e mail bank transaction memo Yet we hear what good man BLM Marxist is
I am in tears and heartbroken! Who do we have left? He was our champion!
So sorry to lose such a great man!! RIPJohnLewis ♥️🙏🏼♥️

This is sad News. John Lewis did so much for Civil Rights. Please rename the Edmund Pettit Bridge after him. My Prayers and Sincere Condolences. Terrible News.
RIP John Lewis. It scared me originally, I thought he was a supreme court justice. It doesn’t matter, he was still such a passionate leader!
This hurts & our nation lost part of it’s heart. I will make sure my son grows up knowing what a remarkable man John was. Rest in peace & countless blessings to the Lewis family. 🙏🏼
hmmmmmm
May he rest in peace. There's plenty I didn't agree with him on, but my condolences to his loved ones.
He was a great man. The fight is not over. We need to carry on his legacy and keep fighting for justice. RIPJohnLewis
John Lewis was a giant in da fight for justice. For 60 yrs he showed us what courage looked like. From marchin w Dr.King to protesting on da floor of Congress. He focused on a more perfect union, equality, & the love of all ppl. A role model for all that's good Rest in power Sir
mrjamesob Such a magnificent person. O America, how will you ever replace that greatness?
Didn't expect to wake up at 4:00 AM and start my day off crying. John Lewis was a true hero and will be missed. May he rest in peace.
Who else suddenly thought of who we could replace some of our confederate statues with?
Very sad news. I admired him, greatly.
So sad to hear this.
John Lewis literally gave his blood, sweat and tears for the cause of civil rights. He will certainly be missed. My condolences to his family and friends. May he rest in peace. 🙏❤️
RIP,
RIP, Sir! You gave so much of your life to Civil Rights, Politics & Reform and 'paid the price' for being a 'strong BLACK man'! Your presence and 'mighty' VOICE in CONGRESS along with your 'wisdom & political brilliance' will be surely missed! ❤

Thank you to the honorable Rep. John Lewis who took on hate in all forms, never mincing words, always standing tall in the face of prejudice. A wonderful hero and role model. R.I.P. RIPJohnLewis
Through their roles in America’s history changes were brought about for the greater good of every American citizen & generations to come. Our past is our legacy of change & path to a stronger united future of the greatest nation on earth. America 🇺🇸
What’s truly sad is Rep. John Lewis’ portrait can never grace the walls of the House of Rep. because others will find it racism. All the portraits that once graced those walls made America what she is today despite their pasts & it’s our history, good or bad & we learned from it.
Deeply sorry to learn. Kindest thoughts and compassion to his family members, colleagues, and dear friends.
nope
Nope
I hate 2020. This giant of a man will be greatly missed.
He always said trump would win reelection over his dead body...

And for today, we have to stop the Communist from doing the same to our Police and American people.
Q: What tangible benefits did he win for the descendants of American slaves? I'll wait. No longer will the native Black community lionize individuals simple because they were Black. He did more for illegals, LGBT, & immigrants than he did for native Black Americans. Facts FBA

Great news. This guy was full of hate.
(paraphrased). I remember he once said that whenever we make progress, we always make a step backwards too. We have to just keep pushing forward despite this. It was one of the most comforting things I'd heard about current events. He made such an impact and won't be forgotten.

Its crazy how they said he died a few days ago but it turned out to be a hoax and then this happens!!
I just heard the news from my aunt. She's in her 80s now, and Rep John Lewis has been her hero for decades. He was a good man, a brave man that continued to serve his community and our nation for many years. He will be missed. Thank you, , for this respectful article.
There is something eerily prescient in a Shakespearean way in which two great civil rights leaders pass on the same day the nation discovers there is a 'justice' dept secret police that are 'disappearing' people who resist the current regime. ripjohnlewis

Too bad just too bad, God bless his soul.

I’m always hopeful for our future but right now there are very few people like John Lewis left who didn’t just talk it, he lived it every day in the most eloquent way.
Rest in peace to a legend.
The last of our greatest civil rights leaders has passed. Can this year get any worse. The morality of government passing one by one.
Go rest high on that mountain sir! johnlewis
RipJohnLewis. May he be in heaven now 😚☀️
His life was both peaceful and loud. He gave a voice to so many that still don’t have what they should. My hope is that Americans finally take note and learn from his legacy that you never give up, you continue standing up for what is right and what is just, no matter the cost.
RIPJohnLewis. I'm watching the documentary (Good Trouble) and its chilling to see the 60s scenes and realizing how we're seeing the exact same scenes today. That's how far the GOP has taken the *US* backwards: 56 years in only 3.5 years. VoteThemAllOut JohnLewis
R.I.P.
Prayers to Mr Lewis's family
He tried. A lot. R.I.P. See you up there.
A truly great person is lost to us.
John Lewis ! Go rest high on that mountain, your time on earth is done. R.I.P.
Rename the bridge, currently sporting the name of a KKK grand dragon, after Lewis.
There was something in the news that he had died like a week ago. So, something is not right here, unless he had almost died then, like it was with Hillary in 2016.
RIP SIR YOU ARE A LEGEND YOU ARE A SCHOOL YOU ARE SIR A ONE OF A KIND A MAN OF VALUES ADN DETERMINATION WE LOST A HERO TODAY BUT HIS OIFE SHIUOD BE CALEBRATEDB
Out standing in field by himself!
He made a career of that one ass whooping. He should get the Academy award for the best actor, because he acted like he cared about black folk, and fooled a whole lot of black folk all these years... GoodTrubble
JohnLewisIsDead Civil Rights Hero John Lewis has passed on to join Dr. M. L. King, Rosa Parks, Elijah Cummings and so many others that sacrificed their lives for “Justice and Freedom for All.” We can continue to learn much from the “LIVES THEY LIVED.”

Nothing like a highly politicized obit that takes slugs to the POTUS to demonstrate the values of MLK. 🤨 Stay classy you will soon be redundant.
His life work has been wasted and trashed, thanks to leftist and BLM.
Rest in peace, John Lewis, now let's do want he would have wanted us to do and vote
lacadri34 Did the future president of the United States Joe Biden comment yet John Lewis passing
