"We the People" should make certain

to understand, appreciate and truly

cherish the heroic and steadfast

bravery of John Lewis:  one of

our greatest Americans who

should never be forgotten. 

​

During a time when egregious violations of 

"civil rights" were heightened with rage against African-Americans, there was

young John Lewis - the son of a

sharecropper -  in the midst of the battle with unshakable determination coupled with 

fear for his life. Although John Lewis was beaten nearly unto death and jailed at least 40 times in his quest for a just & equal America, he forged 

on with commitment and overcame numerous adversities with the peacefulness of his feisty 

Humanity.  Thus, John Lewis endured the

violence and steadfastly championed 

the cause of "Civil Rights" that

would change America forever.

​

"The Civil Rights Movement" 

became the thriving, pulsating heartbeat 

that forced America to change its shameful, 

post-Slavery image:  a hypocritical image which continued to be contrary to reality.  Following

the era of institutionalized Slavery, America was

yet wreaking with injustices, inequalities and 

ugly racism.  Quite a contrast for a Nation 

which professed freedoms and equality

at home and Around the World.

​

 Mere words cannot fully express the great

and expansive passion of John Lewis'

fervent quest for a better America.  

It's every Citizen's responsibility

to ensure that his legacy

lives on forever.
