“We are one people with one family.” - John Lewis

❤️❤️❤️🙏A true giant. Rest In Peace sir.

😔😞😢 What a legend. What a loss May his memory be eternal 🙏 ✨

Such a tremendous loss during these times.

😢😢😢 We will forever miss you, Mr. John Lewis!

RIP Freedom Rider.

Wrinkled flag

Rest now soldier. You fought the good fight.

He and MLK must be horrified at Blacks rioting and looting AGAIN, sowing more seeds of discrimination and distrust. Who rationally would hire or rent to someone from a subculture that thinks Burning It all Down is okay?

🥺😢😔

🙏

That bridge should be renamed after him!
