"Though I may not be here with you, I urge you to answer the highest calling of your heart and stand up for what you truly believe," Lewis wrote."In my life I have done all I can to demonstrate that the way of peace, the way of love and nonviolence is the more excellent way. Now it is your turn to let freedom ring."11:46 a.m.: Bush delivers remarks
An Honor Guard carries the casket of the late Rep. John Lewis for the funeral service at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, July 30, 2020. Lewis attended the church that was once led by Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. "Death is not a period that ends this great sentence of life, but a comma which punctuates it to a lofty and higher significance," King said, quoting her father.
"When there is so much political cynicism and narcissism that masquerades as patriotism, here lies a true American patriot who risked his life for the hope and promise of democracy," Warnock said. "He became a living, walking sermon about truth-telling and justice-making, and he loved America until America learned how to love him back," he said.Tributes for Rep. John Lewis will be delivered by former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, as well as Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, according to a copy of the funeral program.
A worst criminal than hitler but a hero to the slave master, warmonger, women & baby killer, terrorist, racist apartheid zionist hero!? Manufacturing consent via bullsh*t to maimize profits from the ignorance of the mass slaves for the slave masters.
Hey everyone, we live in a world where George W. Bush seems intelligent, reasonable, compassionate, and gets an applause break from a church full of black people.
wsbtv W stole an election, propagandized his own citizens, held 'enemy combatants' without due process, and jailed whistle-blower Chelsea Manning as a spy. 'Democracy' is clearly conditional/negotiable for him (and many others in power).
Mr Trump didn't attend perhaps because he knew the speeches others gave would have honesty, true respect & admiration for others,a moral resonance----& he just doesn't do those, lacks any amount of any of those qualities....Oh, and people would focus on...someone else. NormEisen
wsbtv What a nice way to say that he made him less racist
Murderer
You sure he was a human being? Maybe he was a Martian.
For a second I thought it's footage from Epstein's funereal.
