Pancreatic cancer. Damn. That's a hard way to go.

RIP, John Lewis. ​

Lewis was a Civil Rights follower, never a leader that sold out the Black people to the Democrat Plantation owners.

The Two Faces of John Lewis, No Longer a Hero but a Mouthpiece for White Supremacy…

I know this story will not sit well with many people, especially African Americans who live for a hero and are too mentally enslaved to see…

What has John Lewis ever done for his constituents?

The MSM says,"Rep. John Lewis, a Democratic congressman from Georgia is a civil-rights icon". What has he ever done for his constituents? I don't know...

Tributes pour in for civil rights icon and US Rep. John Lewis: 'We have lost a giant'

U.S. Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., one of the nation’s most preeminent civil rights figures, died Friday night, according to reports. He was 80.

Where the Marxist liberal Poli media onslaught began. He got pushed to the ground once and you would think he was brutally beaten by police. Another historical lie.

Thoughts and prayers to his family.

 

[TheParser]

Of course, everyone expresses deepest sympathies to his family and friends.

Regardless of what one may think of him or of his cause, it must be agreed that he died knowing that he and his supporters were very successful in achieving many of their goals.

As the saying goes, speak no ill of the dead.

 

[Aletheia4u]

He finally made it.

Its funny, so many conservatives are quick to point out that republicans were the ones who worked for civil rights first. And when one of those on the front lines of the civil rights movement in the early days, dies, the vitriol and hate comes spewing. John Lewis was beaten down during the first Selma March, known as Bloody Sunday. He bore the scars from that the rest of his life. But he kept going.

In 1961, Lewis was one of the original Freedom Riders. They were seven whites and six blacks who rode a bus from Washington to New Orleans. Their crime? They had the audacity to sit next to each other. Mobs met the bus and there was violence against the riders. The SCOTUS had ruled that forced segregation on interstate buses was unconstitutional in 1960. A year later the Freedom Fighters were not only attacked and beaten, they were arrested for violating Jim Crow laws, which had been declared unconstitutional. And still he came back.

And he never returned the violence. He never looted, burned or destroyed property. He was a strong advocate for peaceful protest.

All he wanted was change for his people. And he stood up when so many refused to get beaten, hosed, attacked by dogs ect. John Lewis refused to quit.

He was ostracized by other members of the civil rights movement when he refused to give up his peaceful protest and respond with violence.

R.I.P. John Lewis. You earned your rest. But we will miss your voice of reason.

Pushed down? He had his skull fractured. When he was a Freedom Rider, he was beaten by a group of ignorant rednecks in a Greyhound buss station restroom. He was arrested several times on that trip. All because he had the audacity to sit next to a white person traveling in his group.

Those who marched in the 1960s were not violent rioters. Some, like John Lewis did not even fight back. They were beaten and murdered for marching for the right to register to vote. Not out of some misguided loyalty to criminals who were killed by police. They wanted to vote.
