I don't understand how "some" people can be so determined, their convictions so strong that they're willing to give their lives. I wish I had a fraction of his determination. As an immigrant, I always asked myself who should I thank for my successes and for being admitted to this great nation? NOW, I know - Thanks JOHN LEWIS. All immigrants in this country are in debt to you!
Thank you John Lewis, you beautiful man. You’ve been our courageous teacher for so long. It’s time to pass the torch and rest easy that we will NEVER FORGET the lessons we have learned. I miss you already. 😔
Just finished the third March book! Excellent series, I recommend it to anyone who wants to expand their understanding of the Civil Rights movement. Both incredibly moving and entertaining throughout.
Rip! Rep. John Lewis: Thank you! For being a Beacon for The Civil Rights Movement, & fighting for Racial Equality and against Social Injustice. Your legacy will live on forever. #goodtrouble 🙏🌹❤✊🖤
There are few public figures I have true love for. He was one of them. He risked and sacrificed so much to make our country a better place. He was the voice of conscience demanding our nation be accountable to its highest values. “We want our freedom, and we want it now!” Amen, Brother. No one carried themselves with greater dignity. I'm not sure anyone else ever will. You may rest now in Power and in Peace, Congressman Lewis. Your immeasurable service to our nation is done. We love you, and we will miss you dearly. And we will never forget what you did, or the courage it took.
Today in Pittsburgh pa we are fighting for the black community to get equal justice in our city. It's a very tough movement and I have to bring myself back to Mlk and John lewis and remember that the pain and injustice is not in vain. Black lives do matter #justiceforantwonrosejr
@@quentinbaggett4254 You'll be happy to know that I teach this to my students (in an American school). We use the March Graphic Novel. Just started the unit today.
RIP John Lewis a great American activist, hero, and a extraordinary man. We owe it to these great Black Americans who paved the way and sacrificed everything for all of us. It is our duty to continue their legacy and continue this fight for justice and equality for all! If we do not we will dishonor their memory and legacy. God bless all these true American heroes ❤
You are a brave, strong man, Mr. Lewis; a true hero. Thank you so much for marching. It's brave men like you who stood up for what you believe in, that make me hope that we can get through four years of the asshole clown who stole our election in the people's white house and survive; and maybe, finally, get what we all deserve- peace and equality for ALL Americans.
Condolences to the family of a true hero - a rare sacrifice of life. "O Lord, glorify his station, shelter him under the pavilion of Thy supreme mercy, cause him to enter Thy glorious paradise, and perpetuate his existence in Thine exalted rose garden, that he may plunge into the sea of light in the world of mysteries." ~ Baha'i Prayer
How I miss this Giant for Justice, Congressman John Lewis of Georgia!! :'-( While I sadly never had the privilege to meet this beautiful human being inside & out [maybe it was just as well as I would probably embarrass myself in the presence of his greatness!], I feel like he left his imprint on my heart. A white dude from a distant shore, but moved nonetheless by the inspirational lessons of what John Lewis did and what he achieved! Rest In Power and be at Peace, Congressman John Lewis. The lessons of your incredible life shall be eternal like your spirit!!
Until every race unites together against oppression of any group, then those that have yielded power will continue to be maniacs in charge of people’s destiny , they are not god Will we see a new generation of great men and women like this historical icon ? I hope so determined to get in the way to make good trouble for change , R.i.p Congressman John Lewis your service to humanity has been noted ,🙏🏽❤️🕊🥰
Elijah Muhammad said as he was watching the March on Washington he knew it was going to be a faust an it really wasnt going to change anything. So he started writing the book which came out exactly one year later after the March on Washington, Message to the Blackman by The Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

Sherry Lawson, You should check out the archived footage from "Bloody Sunday", March 7, 1965 at the Edmund Pettus Bridge, which you can see right here on youtube; maybe it'll help jog your memory. You'll see that there were no limousines present. The only people riding were the "citizen deputies" of Sheriff Clark, mounted on horses. If you know what to look for--and you do, since you were there--you can see John Lewis and Hosea Williams at the front of the 600-and-some marchers. Representative Lewis is the young gent with the light-colored raincoat and the backpack. Moments after Major Cloud ordered them to turn around and go back to Brown's Chapel, Rep. Lewis was struck in the head by state troopers, and his skull was fractured. Many, many others among the marchers were injured as well. You saw it. You were there. After such vivid events, I don't understand why your memories appear to have failed you, unless it's due to the passage of time. ;-D
Noah Mopeace Wow, you're being ignorant because MLK got assassinated out of all this, so your comment makes no freaking sense. Educate yourself and learn how to make a joke that makes sense. You can argue back, but I'm just wanting you to know most people think before they speak or type senseless crap.
who gave the order to beat these people???? democrats, it was the democratic party, then lewis joins the party who beat him. George Wallace a democrat beat this man and others bloody.
The Democrat party (known in the South as the Dixiecrats) were the party of racist values until Lyndon B Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which granted all black Americans the inalienable right to vote. This sent the Democrat party into disarray and lost him the support of the South. Then Richard Nixon capitalized on this lost demographic with The Southern Strategy (a forward appeal to pissed off Southerners and racists). Since then, the Republican party has become the much more conservative party and unfortunately, the one that most racists support. This is also why we have men like Donald Trump in the Republican party, who literally uses the famous KKK slogan "America First," and why the KKK love him for it. I'd highly recommend taking a HIS 236 class in college (American History 1945 - Present). It's very insightful and will teach you a lot about who we are and how we got here.

They prepared for what was coming. They knew what they were doing and what it could cost. That is what was truly brave.
Liberty has always come at a great price,by many

I wonder what was TIME's opinion on the civil rights movement at that time?!!!
Elijah Muhammad said as he was watching the March on Washington
he knew it was going to be a faust
an it really wasnt going to change anything.
So he started writing the book which came out exactly one year later after the March on Washington,
Message to the Blackman

mm. the comments here are pretty negative 😕.
and by that you meant stupid, right? Because most of them are
kstigerlovejoy YASSSSSSS
Long Range Rifle how
Memo C ...Which is why I am NOT a Conservative.
No respect for Human Rights at home.
@Long Range Rifle no but you are.obviously😂

Very moving. However, the captioning is terrible and distracting.
Reperations NOW!!!!!!!!!!
People forget we had a black president four years ago. Was some pretty historic shit if you ask me.
wait a second this isn’t minecraft tutorials
I don't like him referring to brown skin people as African American or Black but everything else I'm cool with.
Obama became president because of the battle this Man fought! Obama took the price! But this is the real HERO!
And the usa is giving bad rank to india in religious freedom index. What hypocrisy

Womp womp boule

COMPLETELY woke 😂😂
Could do what he did no you couldn't so many of them died.
Some true some NOT
Edgaras Pakuckas I could say the same about your comment.
Isabella Bartner i agree
We’re you there tho? No. HE was.
YOU RODE IN LIMOS , YOU DID NOT WALK , BUT 1 MILE ALL YOU ARE DOING IS LYING , I WAS THERE
Bet you weren't, Trumptard

BTW, I wasn't there; I was 11 years old back then. But I remember reading about it in the paper.
Where was MLK during BLOODY SUNDAY. Answer: At home watching innocent marchers get tortured and beaten. REAL hero
Noah Mopeace Wow, you're being ignorant because MLK got assassinated out of all this, so your comment makes no freaking sense. Educate yourself and learn how to make a joke that makes sense.

John Lewis rides the short bus. 🚌
As do you
who gave the order to beat these people???? democrats, it was the democratic party, then lewis joins the party who beat him. George Wallace a democrat beat this man and others bloody.
Sounds like you are reaching to have a point. Unfortunately for you you don't

I'd highly recommend taking a HIS 236 class in college (American History 1945 - Present). It's very insightful and will teach you a lot about who we are and how we got here.
Sellout!
Could you do it.
John you have lost sight of what you stand for. Now you're just a weathered leaf blowing in the wind. Dr King will be very disappointed in you.
This man cannot let the past go because that is his only claim to fame. He is exploiting the past and not allowing us to heal for his own ego.
Lol hes re-telling the past because Time asked him to for this video
Also he is retelling to those of us who were not there, who were not born yet, who did not know what happened back then!
Thought Police Shut up stupid.
Oh goodness!
It’s American history so, you are more than welcome to not listen so you may heal.
