  • Former U.S. president Barack Obama addressed mourners at Thursday’s funeral for civil rights icon John Lewis, honouring the life of the late congressman in a powerful eulogy. Obama described Lewis’ civil rights legacy, and said that although his faith was tested “again and again,” he was “a man of pure joy and unbreakable perseverance.”
    "He not only embraced that responsibility, but he made it his life's work," the former president said.
    "John Lewis will be a founding father of that fuller, fairer, better America."
    Obama also referenced the 2020 U.S. presidential election and current anti-racism protests across the country, saying "there are those in power who are doing their darnedest to discourage people from voting," and "undermining the postal service in the run-up to an election."
    "John Lewis devoted his time on this earth fighting the very attacks on democracy." He continued.
    Obama added that Lewis knew "that the fate of this democracy depends on how we use it, that democracy isn't automatic- it has to be nurtured."
    The funeral for Lewis was held at the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta on Thursday, capping off a six-day celebration of life honouring the congressman.
    Lewis died on July 17 at the age of 80.

    Didn’t always agree with every policy but always loved to listened to what he said for his love for his fellow man and country, no matter race, color or creed, despite the hate he received. If any president deserved more than 8yrs he was one of them.

      @@cecilyt006 It's definitly not for m (the other comment I made was the whole speech had me on the verge of tears) , but I thought that phrase his mother told him was a beautiful sentiment that summarized this American heroes life. He was placed in prison 45 times and was very nearly beaten to death by a police officer. Idk if you've ever read the book 1984 by George Orwell but in the novel the main character keeps on being told that 2+2 is 5 and not 4, and no matter how much he was tortured he believed that because facts were facts. John knew that no matter what happened to him, the fact was that black people were being treated unfairly and he had to stand up for what he knew what was right.

Every single person, besides Obama who is speaking and is at least 6 ft from everyone, is wearing a mask. Also, none of those people who would be at high risk of dying from the Coronavirus would probably be there. For voting, it doesn't matter if you are high risk or not. It's your American duty to vote and this is just an easy way to make sure everyone has equal voting access. I'm actually surprised republicans wouldn't be more on board with this type of plan considering their demographic.

Anytime you disagreed with Obama it was usually called racist. How sad is that. People will answer to God for how they have lied and lived their Earthly life.....wake up saying You're Blessed then being a heathen....God sees and knows.....Only God matters...not a human and not a President....stop hating and lying and being ugly.

      You must live under a rock if you're trying to compliment his time in office. He was a terrible President, waste of 8 years and a disgrace to the black community. The man supports the LGBTQ more than his own community 😂 🤣🤣

      It's really disgusting to hear Barack Obama quoting God's holy word, did he not read where God detests homosexuality and killing innocent babies! Very hypocritical, he, and all Democrats who support homosexuality and abortion will be judged by GOD!!

      @elizabethh988 4 года назад

      @Kat K God bless Mr Lewis and his service. Only God knows the future destination of each person, whether they go to heaven or hell. I appreciate his advocacy for equal rights. I think it's sad though that Democrats do not think of the rights of innocent babies, especially that over 22 million innocent black babies have been aborted over the last 50 yrs.

      @Kat K my main comment was towards Barack Obama, especially how he was making it political, also quoting the bible, when his political stance is in complete opposition to what God's word says!
