Absolutely, brilliant speech. RIP Mr Lewis.

This Airman salutes you, John Lewis. Rest in Power.

RIP Mr Lewis, you were a credit to your country

Only 23 and he defined a revolution. 50 plus years later and he was still going. There might not be another man like him in our lifetime, but they’ll surely be those to continue on his legacy. RIP Lewis🙏🏽

He was forged in a different crucible. Doing what he did then meant near certainty of arrests and beatings, and a good chance of death - it creates a determination, maturity and toughness that few have. It reminds me of what one of my grandfathers told me as a kid. Something (I can't remember what now) that seemed very bad was happening and he did not seem fazed by it. He said, "Son, when you've slogged across Guadalcanal, Tarawa, and Saipan with Japs shooting at you from every direction, there isn't much back home that can scare you." In his own time, his own way, John Lewis did that same thing.

Please, people, don't let his courageous action and very relevant words fall on deaf ears!!! Everyone MUST get their vote counted. No excuses. Everything that matters depends on everyone of us!!!

I'm hoping wherever John Lewis is now, he's being warmly greeted by Dr. King and the rest of the Big Six. RIP legend...

RIP Mr Lewis, a leader of men and women, a leader of right against wrong, one day racism will be null and void.

He fought till the last second. Respect

Over 56 yrs ago annnnd yet we ate still having this conversation about police brutality and injustice. Hi how can we call our country Great and still be so behind. We are the country to not be like. That's why the world watches! The political people that are in that old mindset needs to be replaced. The time is now! No more waiting!

Rest in peace Mr.Lewis.

Every word is just as relevant as the first time I heard this speech. This man has been one of my role model since I was a white teenager, in the sixties. I miss him being in congress. Rest in peace Mr. Lewis you've earned it

God Bless John Lewis...A Freedom Warrior Forever 🎇

J R There is one candidate that is openly working against you. He must be removed from office. He is destroying this country with his ignorance and hate. If this country crumbles, the black community crumbles also. We don’t have a perfect candidate, but it is in our interest to vote this man out.

We were lucky to have had him.

Nothing but tears over here.

OMG He was such a kid - it's really memorable. It takes my breath away. This make it even more important to vote. Vote like you've never voted before. And restore the Voting Rights bill H.R. 4. That's what John Lewis would want us do. At least when you go through the South (that's with a Capitol S) you don't see Whites and Colored signs - how embarassing in the land of the free. The current racism should be sent away - it needs to end.

I am English, But you paid a great tribute to a great man. RIP.

RIP John Lewis.

Good lyric choice - one of my favorite songs. At least this John was not assassinated like Abraham, Martin, John, and Bobby that the song was written for. I wonder how much better this world might have been if those men had lived as long as John Lewis. I take some small comfort in the fact that after seeing four great men (I include Malcolm X) shot down in their prime in five short years, there has not been another in the past 52 years.

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day-and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing."

We thank God for John Lewis. His legacy will never be forgotten. Well done Rep John Lewis.

That happened on my fifth birthday. I never knew it was on that date. Now I will never forget.

Inspirational leadership throughout his entire journey in life. God rest his amazing soul! He so inspired so many of us. He was right at his young age of 23!

Thank you. We will stand together

Thank you!💜😥

very appropriate speech then and now

A true titan of a human being, now lost to us. We The People simply must come together, keeping to this man's vision, along with the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr's vision, and proceed, as ONE, into the future of the United States of America.

Rest in Power Mr. John Lewis. We will fight for justice and equality as you have. We’ll take it from here.

My mother and father we're a career military family promised me, that there were real Americans in this country, before they died and they were right. Thank You Jesse, thank you and for my mother and father,Thank you for believing in America.

Thank you Jesse

A sad lose, he was a voice that should have been listened to back then. Rest in Peace, Mr.John Lewis.
