While he was dying, this hero took time to guide us further in the fight for an equitable union-AGAIN. I pray that we make him proud. Rest in heaven Mr. Lewis 💝

@Annihilate MAGA Cult please don't give up on us just yet we are trying to get rid of trump but it's going to take time. Most of us aren't blind to how the rest of the world must see us but we are hopeful that the maddness will end soon, just please be patient
Billy Watson There is a time & forum for everything. Your post is not appropriate for this forum. Yes, You are entitled to your opinion but have a ounce of respect when necessary. The video isn’t about Your personal political opinion. It’s about Honoring a Statesman, Congressman & Father who dedicated most of His Teen & Adult life just desiring Equal Justice for All. So disrespectful to post inciting rhetoric on a Tribute video. You can create Your own TH-cam page to post Your type rhetoric & your opinions.
@JIGS UP : WRONG... Sounds like you miss eight years of attacks from Republicans and Fox News to the First Black American President Barack Obama... And now they're attacking the First Black VP candidate Kamala Harris... BIDEN-HARRIS 2020: So the phony Billionaire and phony Businessman with the phony hair and phony tan, phony wife, phony University, phony charity, phony Polls, phony hurricane maps, phony COVID "cures", and with 20,000 documented lies says Kamala Harris is phony? Uh, yeah okay hahaha... GET INFORMED IGNORAMUS. 😁
Tears are flowing down my face, such a wise, brave, generous and kind man! Sir, I've long respected and admired you; because, I know that had I suffered the slightest fraction of what you endured, I don't know that this redhead would just get into "good trouble". My respect and admiration has just grown 10 fold or more. May you truly rest peacefully with Our Father God, who knows no color except for the color & content of our souls. He certainly knows you've earned it. I know you've earned it. You're an iconic figure, not just to be mentioned in February during Black History month but in the tapestry of our UNITED AMERICAN history. Rest in Peace, sir.
@Fred Davis well Fred, we the American people forgive you for your bad voting record...but that's not why we are all here. We want to hear the final words/thoughts of John Lewis, truly a great American.
This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen or heard, or believe I ever will. This is most enlightened human act I have just borne witness to.
Please use that hope for action? Trump was not just trolling you, America! Barr’s Secret Police units are being expanded, as I type. The Trump’s will NOT ALLOW free and fair elections. They KNOW they’re going to jail! Put ALL your energy into OUTLAWING unconstitutional, illegal Secret Police units! “You must say something. You must DO SOMETHING!”
"Death is something inevitable. When a man has done what he considers to be his duty to his people and his country he can rest in peace. I believe I have made that effort and that is, therefore, why I will sleep for the eternity." Nelson Mandela RIP Mr. Lewis.
Jennifer, I've never heard this saying by Mandela, and obviously comes from a TRUE leader that has seen and made it through troubled times and leading people with humility. Thanks for sharing🙏🙏🙏
John Lewis’ last message will forever be the soul of what America. These words will be read for countless generations and hundreds of years. His words remind us oh what it is to be American and the responsibility we each have must never forget to uphold. God bless you Mr.Lewis. Thank you for the souls you have touched and thank you to the heavens for letting you touch our lives.
Amen to that now we have to act upon those words or its basically all for nothing we need to Stand up and fight united as one no violence no rioting just peaceful and we will perval
Your vommdng makes no sense. Hos last words were his. Those ears were everuthjbg he stood on. They were his very essence. Did I miss something (asking seriously)? Your comment is baffling.

Well done, Lawrence. Morgan brings an added emotion that reading it myself was missing. Loved the pictures that accompanied the narrative. Thank You. RIP Mr. Lewis, go with peace. 🕯
What an absolutely beautiful and honest send off to a leader of this country. As a Hispanic American, this brought me to tears knowing that one day, you and me and others in this great country will rise again and take back what we all stood for, and defeat the hate this is before us now!
@E H Im sorry to say this will not happen, mankind cannot bring peace and unity, they have been trying for centuries, only God has the power to bring about real peace. Its too late for mankind its not mans place to bring unity. read your bible especially the book of Ezequiel and Daniel. Mankind is at the edge of the cliff, they have caused themselves injury beyond repair.
Its only the people below us that fear and hate us they are blind and narrow minded. They have no real power over us just stand strong and and try to live life the best you can. One day at a time. God well hold your hand if you let Him.🐦☺💝🎆
This man dedicated his entire life to fighting for what is right and just. Sadly, his fight is over. 😔 He reminded us all of the greatness of America, and how much greatness we have yet to achieve. 🙂
@@johnbrattan9341 We must die so we can live, We will fight for a better tomorrow, No more being a coward where racist is attacking women and children and using the police as their aid, I say no more !
As always I enjoyed listening to Morgan Freeman, but today it was with even greater love and interest. In losing Mr Lewis we have lost an amazing sole, but we will always have his words and the record of his actions that helped change how we treat one another. Thank you Mr John Lewis for making the world my children are growing up in a better place.
Beautifully written by a great and wise man and beautifully orated by a great friend of this wise man. Nobody could have spoken it better with such feelings...
We have to save our country....all of us who still believe that good can still prosper. Let's us all remember we are the generation that will change things with our voices, hearts and especially our vote.
@Fred Davis oh your mad about all of your Confederate, traitor flags and statues coming down right? Or the fact that all races are coming together to fight racism and bigotry?
Wow . That means that movements (plural) all over the world must work together as John requested in his last words. Good people, pious people and God fearing/loving people now will try to support each other, if they are seriously faith based, not fear or atheism based, because God never designated Himself as a color, or even as belonging to a Jewish, or Hindu, or Christian or Muslim or any other group with a name or doctrine of rituals.
"In my life, i have done all that i can" though that was not the full sentence..those words should be encouragement enough for you and i to fight for our freedoms and rights. I have admired this man and Elijah Cummings my whole life. I cant believe we lost both in less than a year apart. That hurts so much..but I am sure they are resting quite comfortably now, after such long journeys
What a truly good human being. I am nothing compared to this great man. We must learn from his words and his example. Pick up the torch he had passed. This, this is what should be taught to all children. Forever more. May he Rest In Peace. God Bless his soul. 💔🇺🇲💔🙏💪
Sandra Whitlock well said. I think there are only a few times in ones life that you truely feel humbled by another’s words. For me, this is one of those times, and I’m not even American. You have lost a true leader.
No, don't ever think of yourself as "nothing", even in comparison. Compare your work/past works if you really want to but never to think you are "less".
Every American should learn from this mans life. To have the courage, fortitude and perseverance to stand for what is right, what is just and what is true in the face of the power of fear, violence and hate aligned against you is a testament to his courage. He made us better but his work is a work in process and now is the time to finish this work and complete the promises of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution for each and every person.
Greetings from the UK. All right minded folks in the USA should listen to these beautiful words every day. You guys have an enormous rebuilding task ahead of you. Keep the faith, you are stronger than you may think. John Lewis is with you and looking down on you. Peace to you all.
Awaiting John Lewis at the gates of heaven, was undoubtedly, the spirit of Dr Martin Luther King Jr himself, hand reached out and greeting an old friend.

I don’t say these words about too many men but, I truly love John Lewis. He was, and will always be a bright light, leading my way. We must always remember his fight, so that we will never forget to fight for each other. Rest in peace, great man.
Such is the power of the human spirit, it transcends mortality in the testimony it leaves behind, though never having met the man, his words resonate with all that is good and highest aspirations of humanity. RIP Mr. J Lewis.
Much like the day e. Cummings left this sphere, today i gave thanks for yet another beautiful son that god allowed us to borrow for a short time. I wept, I mourned and am paralyzed by fear today. Fear of what my children must endure tomorrow in this great land we call the home of the free. One less protector, one less pair of wings to shroud them . It is a hard pain, one mothers feel every day but on days like today, one that terrifies in this mighty U.S. of A.
He hasn't left us his soul may be with God but his spirit forever resides in those of us who dare fight the good fight for justice and equality. Be not afraid be inspired for now he is our guardian Angel.
Ms Rose I am going to bet that you've taught your children to BE the next great protector of this country. The words and actions of this great man act as a guide for you, your children, my child and myself. I was taught social justice through the words and actions of my parents and grandparents. I do my best to pass these teachings on to my daughter. And our children will carry the torch on to their children and grandchildren.
And for that, I don't think I can forgive trump for a very long time. To not honor another man in the tradition of many civilized people. To refuse to even pay respects in the Capitol rotunda! And to announce his refusal in such a rude and dismissive tone was ugly. To not forget or overlook a stupid spat that trump may have had 3 years ago? With a man who has most surely gone to heaven? To refuse to act as most humans due, if only out of courtesy. Donald j trump is a little little man. His "stature" decreases with every sentence he utters. And to those who say I should respect trump bec he has the title of "president" I say no, he has relinquished any expectation of respect, now and for his lack of respect and mercy for his fellow man throughout his life. RIP John Lewis
MSNBC - John Lewis, was a remarkable American. His life a true example of Love. I think in this time, at this time, his last words are as important, clear sighted and as timeless as MLK's I have a dream speech. Non Violent, Good Trouble, Equality FOR ALL - period! Your providing the air time and Morgan Freeman reading John's words - that is the journalism YOU should and must do EVERYDAY! That honest, that pure, that important. PLEASE. Thank You.
I wept when I read Rep. John Lewis' words the day of his funeral. Now listening to them spoken aloud from a good friend of his just gave me the chills. RIP power, sir.
I've watched the coverage of John Lewis life journey.. Every part was carefully put together. It was a amazing experience thanks to all who took part in sharing this legendary soul. May others learn from such an incredible angel. JOHN LEWIS RIP 🙏
Words of a living human history book. Words gained by living and changing the face of America. A living witness to the all the wrongs and rights of our country. This was a man's man who's fight we must carry on.
Dare I fail this extraordinary ordinary person, dare I forget his courageous deeds, and lose the Way! All human and humane is a Man of stature. The gratitude that is mine to have shared this earth with him.
John Lewis was an inspiration to everyone regardless of the color of your skin but particularly for those with color of their skin. Never to give up and always preserver. Rest In Peace dear man. You will be missed dearly!
This message was so emotional for me and I thought to myself what a decent human being, John Lewis, he lived his life for peace in the midst of constant violence and hatred. May you stand at the right hand of God our Father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name. Amen. America use your ultimate power to honour John Lewis Legacy.
Thank you John Lewis for thinking about those around you, even in your last moments the lives of others mattered to you most. Your truly wise words will be heard and felt by all. Rest in Power.
A MAN A decent wise man A true humanitarian Thank you Sir for your words From Australia I listen to your words today I will listen often and feel blessed to know what a gentleman and man for all men you are 💜
Tears ran down my face as I listened to this, I was truly heart broken when I heard of his passing, I pray this will inspire new generations to vote and make a difference.
A man of integrity and purpose. I am learning today of those who stood up when few were listening, who saw a better way, a higher goal at a time I was distracted. Oh how I wish I had been there. Marching.
His spirit, in his words and deeds, will live forever. I'm touched by his words, but more so by his life. What a beautiful man, with an even more beautiful spirit. May his soul, and all the souls of the faithful departed, rest in peace.

Wow! Simply beautiful and inspiring.😢 An oasis of serenity in the middle of a desert of depravity perpetuated by the festering rot of humanity sitting in the WH. A beacon of light and wisdom, amidst the dark madness of bigotry and rabid insanity. Hope, not fear, leads the way. My maximum respect. 🙏 R.I.P. Wise Sir. 🙏
What an awesome message for all of us, especially for those who are physically fighting injustices throughout the world through their protesting. Now is the moment. So glad Rep. John Lewis lived long enough to see hope in the future of this world.
He moves me. As an Indian, his message resonates with the values of our freedom struggle and the Mahatma. The walk to complete freedom and swaraj is long, but we need to make that journey with solidarity and hope.
This has got to be one of the best send offs in the world. R.I.P.
I think it will go down in history as such. It is so profound!

Greetings from the UK. All right minded folks in the USA should listen to these beautiful words every day. You guys have an enormous rebuilding task ahead of you. Keep the faith, you are stronger than you may think. John Lewis is with you and looking down on you. Peace to you all.
I'm not American but the voice of morgan hairs on my neck stand up. Rip joun Lewis x
Awaiting John Lewis at the gates of heaven, was undoubtedly, the spirit of Dr Martin Luther King Jr himself, hand reached out and greeting an old friend.
Skeptical Chris I can just picture that
no doubt Chris
I think King will ask him why he did absolutely nothing for black people for the past 60 years
Yes he well see all his loved ones there waitingng for him to arrive.🐦💝
Today, for all progressive, caring people who care about the fate of the planet, the fate of people, the fate of humanity! Today, it is unequivocally and irrevocably clear that warming is the main threat to humanity. It is extremely important to pay attention to projects that can change the situation on a global scale. to stop further warming. The main supplier of gases that provoke warming is a thermal power plant, which burns coal, gas, oil,...and the atom, too!. Exactly my invention…
Still

John Lewis' words brought tears to my eyes. Go rest high on that holy mountain, sir - may we all make you proud.
This made me cry. I wish every single American could not only hear this speech --- but feel it deep in his and her hearts.
appreciate this lawrence. on the occasion a founding father passes away
This made me tear up.
@@obcl8569 me too, I was literally in tears.
@Fred Davis Yes, founding father. Every generation needs them.
I don’t say these words about too many men but, I truly love John Lewis. He was, and will always be a bright light, leading my way. We must always remember his fight, so that we will never forget to fight for each other. Rest in peace, great man.
Beautiful and inspiring.
RIP Mr, Lewis
The work is hard and far from over, DO IT FOR JOHN! ❤️🇺🇸💙
Thank you for sharing John Lewis' last message read by Morgan Freeman. It meant a lot to me to hear it read by Morgan. RIP John Lewis.
Lewis was a great man, compare that to the empty husk we have as President. You will be missed Mr. Lewis. RIP
Such is the power of the human spirit, it transcends mortality in the testimony it leaves behind, though never having met the man, his words resonate with all that is good and highest aspirations of humanity. RIP Mr. J Lewis.
Fine man.
One of the kind
This nation needs man and woman like him!
Much like the day e. Cummings left this sphere, today i gave thanks for yet another beautiful son that god allowed us to borrow for a short time. I wept, I mourned and am paralyzed by fear today. Fear of what my children must endure tomorrow in this great land we call the home of the free. One less protector, one less pair of wings to shroud them . It is a hard pain, one mothers feel every day but on days like today, one that terrifies in this mighty U.S. of A.
I know Ms. Rose but cannot stop fighting! No matter what it takes in peaceful protests!!!
He hasn't left us his soul may be with God but his spirit forever resides in those of us who dare fight the good fight for justice and equality. Be not afraid be inspired for now he is our guardian Angel.
Ms Rose I am going to bet that you've taught your children to BE the next great protector of this country. The words and actions of this great man act as a guide for you, your children, my child and myself. I was taught social justice through the words and actions of my parents and grandparents. I do my best to pass these teachings on to my daughter. And our children will carry the torch on to their children and grandchildren.
These last words were priceless, unselfish and full of grace to unite the world! Adieu John Lewis!
My God! How beautiful!
Thank you for broadcasting Morgan Freeman’s reading of Rep. John Lewis’s last letter. Rest In Peace Sir.
Just remember, Trump did not give proper condolences to this man. That says alot
Fact
He'll probably go to Cain's funeral. Where the 4 other living presidents won't.
And for that, I don't think I can forgive trump for a very long time. To not honor another man in the tradition of many civilized people. To refuse to even pay respects in the Capitol rotunda! And to announce his refusal in such a rude and dismissive tone was ugly. To not forget or overlook a stupid spat that trump may have had 3 years ago? With a man who has most surely gone to heaven? To refuse to act as most humans due, if only out of courtesy.
Donald j trump is a little little man. His "stature" decreases with every sentence he utters.
And to those who say I should respect trump bec he has the title of "president" I say no, he has relinquished any expectation of respect, now and for his lack of respect and mercy for his fellow man throughout his life.
RIP John Lewis
@@cathieludemann5879 Did you vote for Trump?
Trump is a hateful man!and he wonder why people don’t like him 🙄🙄
Truly moving and inspiring. And remember his words “vote like your life depended on it.” RIP Good Trouble ...... BLM FDT 1619 TMC 🏁
I understood BLM=Black Lives Matter
FDT=Fuck Donald Trump
TMC=The Marathon Continues...but what does the 1619 mean?
@@tenishawilliams958 it refers to the date of when the first African Slaves were brought to America.
@@elisevautour6292 Thank you for sharing.
@@tenishawilliams958 1619-2019 1619 was the beginning of slavery in the US... Our 400 years of suffering is over with.
Thank you. Yes I was aware of that significant date.
He was such an incredible individual.
WOW!!! Chills and Tears!!!
Thank You Mr Lewis!!! May you finally have peace!!! 💜✊🏼✌🏼
MSNBC - John Lewis, was a remarkable American. His life a true example of Love. I think in this time, at this time, his last words are as important, clear sighted and as timeless as MLK's I have a dream speech. Non Violent, Good Trouble, Equality FOR ALL - period! Your providing the air time and Morgan Freeman reading John's words - that is the journalism YOU should and must do EVERYDAY! That honest, that pure, that important. PLEASE. Thank You.
What a wonderful human being he was....I pray all of us can be as warm and compassionate a he was.
Moving, inspiring, and necessary words, to hear, and to live by.
Brings me to tears, beautiful words. Thank you, thank you!! RIP Mr. John Lewis.
South Africa mourns with you.
John Lewis was your Mandela.
Trade Aware 🙏
Thank you for your kind words he shall be missed
Indeed we do.
🙏🏿🙏🏿Thank you
I wept when I read Rep. John Lewis' words the day of his funeral. Now listening to them spoken aloud from a good friend of his just gave me the chills. RIP power, sir.
That was beautifully read. Made me cry. RIP John Lewis ❤
Wow, more powerful words than I have heard in a long time. Words from a true patriot, agent of change, and proponent of everlasting love.
John Lewis is a a true American hero 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 ❤️❤️❤️
Rest in power John Lewis ✊ The match goes Inc Ctr
Beautifully written and Morgan Freeman spoke so eloquently, I teared up a few times.
Loved that Lawrence. It was amazing to hear and gives hope.
My older sister got to see rep Lewis speak at her commencement ceremony in May 2019. How lucky she was.
Just exquisite, personified across the ages and times Rest In Peace dear brother!
I've watched the coverage of John Lewis life journey.. Every part was carefully put together. It was a amazing experience thanks to all who took part in sharing this legendary soul. May others learn from such an incredible angel. JOHN LEWIS RIP 🙏
Words of a living human history book. Words gained by living and changing the face of America. A living witness to the all the wrongs and rights of our country. This was a man's man who's fight we must carry on.
Last words bring tears to my eyes,my heart is heavy. ❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾
Totally inspirational. True leader with a message of hope and action.
I am sure he is watching down and wishing America all good. ❤. What a special special Man. ❤
Thank you Congressman John Lewis you made a big difference in millions of American lives you will never be forgotten!
Dare I fail this extraordinary ordinary person, dare I forget his courageous deeds, and lose the Way! All human and humane is a Man of stature. The gratitude that is mine to have shared this earth with him.
John Lewis was an inspiration to everyone regardless of the color of your skin but particularly for those with color of their skin. Never to give up and always preserver. Rest In Peace dear man. You will be missed dearly!
Wow, gave me goosebumps to listen to the words of Rep Lewis in the incredible voice of Morgan Freeman. RIP Rep Lewis, the world has lost a true hero.
What a beautiful tribute
I nearly teared up listening to this. Incredibly moving.
This message was so emotional for me and I thought to myself what a decent human being, John Lewis, he lived his life for peace in the midst of constant violence and hatred. May you stand at the right hand of God our Father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name. Amen. America use your ultimate power to honour John Lewis Legacy.
Thank you John Lewis for thinking about those around you, even in your last moments the lives of others mattered to you most.
Your truly wise words will be heard and felt by all. Rest in Power.
A MAN
A decent wise man
A true humanitarian
Thank you Sir for your words
From Australia I listen to your words today
I will listen often and feel blessed to know what a gentleman and man for all men you are 💜
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿Thank you
Tears ran down my face as I listened to this, I was truly heart broken when I heard of his passing, I pray this will inspire new generations to vote and make a difference.
A man of integrity and purpose. I am learning today of those who stood up when few were listening, who saw a better way, a higher goal at a time I was distracted. Oh how I wish I had been there. Marching.
His spirit, in his words and deeds, will live forever. I'm touched by his words, but more so by his life. What a beautiful man, with an even more beautiful spirit. May his soul, and all the souls of the faithful departed, rest in peace.
RIP John lewis
Truly inspiring words. Crying as I hear this. He fought for us to the end.
Magnificent! I have tears in my eyes from listening to those words. What a man John Lewis was. Greetings from Ireland :)
BARRY WALLS 💐💞💐 HELLO TO YOU YOUNG MAN AND THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR YOUR 💯% TRUE AND CORRECT COMMENT ❤🙏❤ PEACE AND LOVE TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ALWAYS BARRY WALLS ❤🙏❤ AND TO ALL RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE FROM KATHERINE IN CHICAGO ILLINOIS 🇺🇸 ON FRIDAY JULY 31 ,2020 AT 11:28am 💐🙏💐REST IN PEACE JOHN LEWIS💐🙏💐
Wow! Simply beautiful and inspiring.😢 An oasis of serenity in the middle of a desert of depravity perpetuated by the festering rot of humanity sitting in the WH. A beacon of light and wisdom, amidst the dark madness of bigotry and rabid insanity. Hope, not fear, leads the way. My maximum respect. 🙏 R.I.P. Wise Sir. 🙏
I’m not crying. You’re crying. 🙏🏽💛
What an awesome message for all of us, especially for those who are physically fighting injustices throughout the world through their protesting. Now is the moment. So glad Rep. John Lewis lived long enough to see hope in the future of this world.
That was truly beautiful. Some of the most important words ever written read by one of the best voices.
He moves me. As an Indian, his message resonates with the values of our freedom struggle and the Mahatma. The walk to complete freedom and swaraj is long, but we need to make that journey with solidarity and hope.
