- John Robert Lewis, the son of sharecroppers who survived a brutal beating by police during a landmark 1965 march in Selma, Alabama, to become a towering figure of the civil rights movement and a longtime US congressman, has died after a six-month battle with cancer. He was 80.
Lewis, a Democrat who served as the US representative for Georgia's 5th congressional district for more than three decades, was widely seen as a moral conscience of Congress because of his decades-long embodiment of nonviolent fight for civil rights. His passionate oratory was backed by a long record of action that included, by his count, more than 40 arrests while demonstrating against racial and social injustice.
A follower and colleague of Martin Luther King Jr., he participated in lunch counter sit-ins, joined the Freedom Riders in challenging segregated buses and -- at the age of 23 -- was a keynote speaker at the historic 1963 March on Washington.
"Sometimes when I look back and think about it, how did we do what we did? How did we succeed? We didn't have a website. We didn't have a cellular telephone," Lewis has said of the civil rights movement.
"But I felt when we were sitting in at those lunch counter stools, or going on the Freedom Ride, or marching from Selma to Montgomery, there was a power and a force. God Almighty was there with us."
Lewis has said King inspired his activism. Angered by the unfairness of the Jim Crow South, he launched what he called "good trouble" with organized protests and sit-ins. In the early 1960s, he was a Freedom Rider, challenging segregation at interstate bus terminals across the South and in the nation's capital.
"We do not want our freedom gradual; we want to be free now," he said at the time.
At age 25, Lewis helped lead a march for voting rights on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, where he and other marchers were met by heavily armed state and local police who attacked them with clubs, fracturing Lewis' skull. Images from that "Bloody Sunday" shocked the nation and galvanized support for the Voting Rights Act of 1965, signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson.
"I gave a little blood on that bridge," he said years later. "I thought I was going to die. I thought I saw death."
Despite the attack and other beatings, Lewis never lost his activist spirit, taking it from protests to politics. He was elected to the Atlanta city council in 1981, then to Congress six years later.

John Lewis- You’ve run your race. Well done. Rest in Power.
Haha ok
@Jim Brown A thief? So what is Trump?
@Jim Brown if you are going to undermine civil rights leaders and/or the civil rights movement, you should probably choose a different username.
Amen
@Jim Brown really
Rest In Peace A real American Hero, so few like mr Lewis. Thank You.
Voting with his last breath while ill, I was so impressed. I never knew that he was 80 years old, he was a powerful voice.
😂
One time I saw him with his family in a restaurant on a mother's day years ago. I didn't want to say anything because he was clearly eating and having a celebration with his family. He heard my mother say his name and came over to greet us.
So you didn’t harass him like Democrats do with republicans eating dinner with their families? Maxim Waters instructed Democrats to harass.
That's cool.
@@mikehall7026 prove it, I've heard of republican trators being harrassed by good americans, whe ever said they were only democrats?
So what eneded up happening?? Was the discussion just a "hi and hello" or did he talk for a while? Was the conversation about family life or politics, was he cordial or lighthearted?
@Dan Rush Such an idiot. Such a child.
He got arrested 40 times and still didn’t stop. What a champion. Rest In Peace John Lewis.
"Speak up. Speak out. Get into good trouble"
Rest In Power Sir.
Dresdan. First time learn from you there is "good trouble." So COVID-19 is good trouble??? Ha ha ha ha ha ha. What is rest in power? Dead men have power!
"Be hopeful, be optimistic. Never lose that sense of hope."- John Lewis
“Therefore, I am offering $10,000 of my own money to provide hard evidence that the N-word was hurled at him (John Lewis) not 15 times, as his colleague reported, but just once. Surely one of those two cameras wielded by members of his entourage will prove his point.”

@@davidgrover5996 Dude the guy is dead, do you have to spew hate? God, you sound just like your master tRump.
If you are reading this, stay strong, stay healthy, protect yourself and remain calm. We will overcome 2020's adversities soon with resilience and resistance. During these dark times there is always hope in the middle of the fear. There are good news, God promises to be there for you because he loves you. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life" John 3:16. I just want to let everyone know that Jesus loves you with a passion and its never too late to put your trust in him. Cast all your burdens on Jesus because he cares for you. If you've got pain
He's a pain taker
If you feel lost
He's a way maker
If you need freedom or saving
He's a prison-shaking Savior
If you've got chains
He's a chain breaker.
Don't let your heart be troubled in these times.
I wish you the best day.
How is an accurate quote spewing hate ツ?
We gonna miss you, sir. Rest in Peace. Hope you have a fun talk up there with Mr. MLK. ♥️♥️
@Lisa Garrison Donald Trump's ears should be burning about right now.
I remember him back in 2010 I join him in Atlanta during Thanksgiving weekend feeding the homeless I did have a lengthy conversation with him, great son of America rest in peace.
He didn't feed anyone. He used taxpayers money to do that. Get the hell out of here.

@HardikG121
You need to read a little more. Barry Goldwater supported the earlier civil rights bill of 1957 but they believe (as I do) that the later ones went too far and gave too much power to the federal government.
Calling Democrats conservative is an outright lie. Maybe you don't know what conservative means.
You need a bit of context and a little more study.
@W TF?
Blacks switched to democrats purely due to welfare. It is absolutely shameful.
... and you are right, this is why they want to erase history.
So heartbroken😪 I was so happy to see him when He came to DC to see the Black Lives Matter plaza. I thought he looked great. He never relented on his struggles and commitment to justice and equality. His final trip to DC to witness and see in his own eyes was a testimony to his Heroism. Not beating in the head, Not being hosed down, pushed and shoved and being called names by racists, NOT even dieing from cancer stopped this Hero's life long commitment to justice and equality. Rest in heavenly peace, Mr. Lewis. You are in good comany now; with all the giants that have passed on before you. Please, tell them all their struggles wasn't in vein. America has come to a reckoning with its passed sins. See.you at the capital. I will stand in the long lines to pay my respect. Thsnk You, Sir.
A true hero, a giant. I remember watching the news, Selma the courage of the Marchers.
The devil told him to drop the suitcase, “Your stolen money is no good here.”

The bad news is a Civil Rights legend is gone.
The good news is Atlanta can finally have a new member of Congress after 33 years.
Hopefully John Lewis' successor will continue the fight against racial injustice and for equal rights for all.
Listening to John Lewis used to lighten my heart with hope for all he said and represented.
RIP Mr. Lewis 🌈👼🙏

John, Thank you for your leadership and sacrifices. We shall all miss you.
speak for yourself
Question: How does it feel, when you hear a leader speak a coherent sentence, that does not only say: me, me, me?
I hear the US US US?
Or I, I, I.
♥️
How does it feel to have jobs available before covid-19. how does it feel to be a strong independent thinker able to stand up on his own two feet without anybody's help
How does it feel to be a hypocrite? “..when you ‘here’ a leader..” shouldn’t you have said “hear”?
I was thinking, "WTF? I thought he already died?" Then I noticed that was Elijah Cummings and not John Lewis. They sorta look alike...
Leech, that’s what you choose to say?
....they all look alike...
they were both racist too . two more haters down
They can both rot in hell.
Without the media saying it I cannot tell them apart
Thank you, thank you, thank you Mr. Lewis for putting up a outstanding fight for our independence 🤜🏿🤛🏾

I hope they rename the Edmund Pettus bridge after John Lewis or call it the Freedom Bridge!
Second, hearing the news of his passing has been another blow of an already overwhelming year. Eventually I will stop crying, but for now, I weep... I have had some very difficult periods in my life but hands down 2020 is one of the worst years. This year has dealt countless tragic news one after another (yes I know there is much to be thankful for and I’m still so over this year). Self-care, survival, and maintain my sanity is how I will continue to approach each day!
Please be well, remain safe, and vote everyone!

Wow, you just murdered the English language. RIP😢
"Content of character". Remember that? Now the left has to put labels on everyone. Dr. King is rolling in his grave.
I wonder what John Lewis would say about BLM attacking Police Officer's with a cane? How can you possibly vote for Joe Biden when he supports " No Bail"? This person in NY that smashed a Police Officer's head with a cane splitting it open was back out on the streets in hours. Do ya think they will be out doing it again? VOTE for Law & Order, Vote: Trump!

Good will always prevail,,, eventually. Shame on those who have gave this a thumb down.
If BLM is correct then doesn't that mean he didn't accomplish anything?
He's dead. That's a good thing. No thumbs down here.
He’s dead. Maybe GA will finally get something done with less Democrats in office.
ill give you a thumbs down as well. John Lewis made millions on the backs of people he was trying to "help". His own district was a cesspool for many many years and still is. He was more interested in creating racial issues so he would be relevant instead of truly helping his community. Why? because if they actually succeeded, they wouldn't need him anymore. AL and Jesse are next to go.. parasites all of them
Computer User Trump is not in charge of the states. The governors are in charge of the states. It’s not the old people’s fault NY has such a shitty governer. Trump gave everybody the tools they needed to handle it in a state by state basis.
That's sad to hear May he RIP 🙏 😔

You're just blind from the s*** there shoveling in your face
I am so saddened by the death of this great civil rights leader. He will be missed.
I'm glad he's currently burning in Hell
Rest well brother you've earned it.
The guy was a racist and the world is better now that he is gone. I never understood what kind of tool voted for him. His IQ was so low, he belonged in circus sideshow or on a leash, but not in Congress.
@@LuciusKyrus You sir...must be a Maga supporter. Although i don't agree with everything about trump...but when he dies...i will respect the dead. Btw...I'm willing to bet that you claim to be a GOD fearing man🤔. May THE GOOD LORD have mercy on you my brother.

omg-rip 😷
A loss felt across boarders. John Lewis is a hero and if everyone had a bit of his strength, resolve and love, this truly would be a wonderful world.
Incredible to see the hate speech and disrespectful statements coming from people who 'respect' their flag and country but refuse to respect the rights of others. How utterly sad and disgraceful!
