Renaming the bridge in Selma is one item on a list of long-overdue corrections, but it won't stop the disenfranchisement of Black Americans. It is the fight for voting rights that will help continue Lewis' life work, writes Jess McIntosh.

What a great idea. Things should be named after people who did some good. Not slave owning traitors.

Not going to happen in a Republican controlled state, where conservatives couldn’t care less about Lewis, and some on the right are likely glad he’s gone.

He was from Georgia ffs! Let them name some rat and thug-infested neighborhood in Atlanta after Lewis. Surely a fitting tribute!

They will

it wasn't Republicans swinging the nightsticks, or the fists that injured him

It was southern Conservatives

Now you lie once again. Democrats were the ones who opposed desegregation, they were the ones who opposed removing slavery, they were the ones who ran the KKK group.

The 1960's South was strongly dominated by democrat majority, the same majority that resisted the SCOTUS desegregation decision of 10 years earlier, the same turds who resist the 1964 Civil rights act.

Actually there were THOUSANDS of northern Democrats who opposed segregation
There were also southern REPUBLICANS who supported Segregation laws

The common thread was SOUTHERN

It is true NORTHERN moderate democrats generally opposed Segregation as did the republicans (who never actively supported it), but it still existed as de jure segregation anyway. It was a lot worse in democrat dominated (that is a fact!) SOUTH where it was still de facto segregation.

You forget that in the 1960's Democrats had strong majorities in the Congress, with democrat Presidents from 1960-1968.

You need to do some research on voting patterns, I did that a few years ago learned that Democrats had the power to end segregation for a long time, but didn't do shit until the SCOTUS decision came along that smashed that originally Democrat supported decision of 1896. It was created by democrat majority, it was ended by a democrat majority only after a great woman]s courage and the successful Montgomery Bus Boycott came along to show what an ugly system that was.

He was a life long member of the democrat party...the party of slavery, the kkk, jim crow, Poll Taxes and Literacy tests....the democrat party kept Black children out of public schools with police, and now, when the democrat party has destroyed the schools in democrat party controlled cities they refuse to let those Black Children escape and go to better schools...

The democrat party that supports planned parenhood.....that has abortion clinics in every Black neighborhood to kill Black Babies...........

Just how was this man so good? He belonged to the racist political party that has destroyed the lives of generations of Black Americans........

Name the bridge after him?

Why stop there? Rename cities, or counties, hey... why not to rename great State of Alabama after him, because Alabama was one of Confederate states... How about we rename every state after African countries, and whole country into United States of Africa, than no black will be offended by anything anymore.

Or, lets just shove wooden stake through his heart to show how much we care.

All the racists are out today for sure. Sad that you types have yet to evolve.

Kinda sad that when you types cannot answer a simple question, you just cry racism for no logical reason. That's pretty fucking stupid and idiotic.

To reiterate, the question that you are fleeing away from in a conspicuous display of pathetic cowardice is...

What good did John Lewis do? Please be specific.

Are you going to continue to dodge the question? Personally, I predict that you will.

He fought against evil and for the American Dream and the Constitution.

Does this mean the span will become a Toll Bridge? Somebody gotta get paid!

Why don’t you just admit that segregation was a North/South issue and not a Republican/Democrat issue?

John Lewis already paid his toll for crossing that bridge

No more naming anything over anyone. The guy was an racist asshole, who sold his people out. To make him rich.

Because it was the Democrats who created, promoted and eventually ended it. They promote de facto segregation to this day. The Republicans NEVER created that abomination, but they did follow it as de jure segregation, which the democrats created and supported for many decades.

The Democrat party created it and supported it, that is a fact. Stop resisting the overwhelming historical evidence!

Like I said, you need to do some research on voting patterns.

Actually, it was the Southern “Peculiar Institution” of racism that controlled candidates in both parties.

You couldn’t get elected dog catcher if you didn’t support segregation

A bathroom would be to good for him. Name a glory hole after him.

Lewis recieved injuries several times during his days as a Civil Rights activist......all of those injuries came at the hands of members of the democrat party.......it wasn't Republicans swinging the nightsticks, or the fists that injured him. It was individuals who voted for the democrat party who attacked peaceful protestors ........and yet he joined and remained in the democrat party...

What kind of wisdom does that actually show?

They are still the same to this day.

Because it was the Democrats who created,

Slavery existed for two hundred years in the south BEFORE the Democratic Party was formed
