Lewis, 79, who has served in the House of Representatives since 1987, announced on Sunday he is fighting stage 4 pancreatic cancer., calling the Democratic front-runner a “a friend, a man of courage, a man of conscience,” and promising to do whatever he can to support his candidacy.
One of the nation’s most influential voices on civil rights, Lewis was a close friend of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and walked alongside the civil rights leader in Selma, Alabama, on March 7, 1965, when he was badly beaten by police while crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge."I know hatred when I see it. I have felt it. I've stared down the deepest and darkest forces in this nation.
“I think Vice President Biden should look around. It would be good to have a woman of color. It would be good to have a woman. It would be good to have a woman who looks like the rest of America,” Lewis said. Addressing Biden’s relative lack of support among younger African-Americans, Lewis urged those same young voters to turn out, referencing his own past with the civil rights movement and arguing that people died for the right to vote, calling it “the most powerful non-violent instrument or tool that we have in a democratic society.”

Maybe for his support of the white power structure, repjohnlewis can negotiate a living minimum wage for the people of Georgia. Lewis is a disgrace.
JoeBiden is responsible for the destruction of the BlackFamily! Mass incarceration resulted in the increase of single parent households! This policy increased the poverty rate of Blackwomen! The BlackVote should be withheld from the DNC! Blackmen repjohnlewis BlackExodus
He’s no icon! Is he aware of the allegations against his choice, he stuck 3 fingers in a woman’s vagina! He likes little boys rubbing his hairy legs! He’s a sick demented man!
Forgot the ‘88 Primary when Joe Biden was caught plagiarizing? The confirmation hearing when he verbally attacked Anita Hill? Pro-Iraq war vote? Inappropriate touching & assault accusations? Cognitive decline? Hunter’s corrupt payday from Burisma?
This is disgusting. Rushing out an endorsement before the polls open on a day when people should be staying inside. Joe Biden has lost any hope to get young people and independents in November.
You forgot a rapist
John Lewis supports the industrial prison complex and the murdering of so many black males in our society. Has he ever spoken out agains't it?
