Morgan Freeman Reads Rep. John Lewis’ Last Words | The Last Word | MSNBC
I’m not American and I don’t live in America. But those are beautiful and inspiring words spoken by an elegant and beautiful voice. It sent tears to my eyes. America, pick yourself up. You are better than trump. Show the world what you can do in November. God bless.
This is the America that we can still be! The America so many of us still believe in!
Just remember, enlightenment always comes after turmoil.
PKay Gray it will be heard all the way to Mars as US it I’ll once again be lead by science and not ignorance.

Thank you. Your comment brought even more tears to my eyes.
While he was dying, this hero took time to guide us further in the fight for an equitable union-AGAIN. I pray that we make him proud.
Rest in heaven Mr. Lewis 💝
I know!! I could not begin to come up with such words, sentiment and true meaning of what we are still fighting for! He did this right up until his last breath. Let’s make it count!!!
@@GreenDragon11 i bet you could.
I believe you will. Those kind of words can go as deep as the simple "we shall overcome someday" song did for those who lived through the sixties. We get our best lives lived against a backdrop of that which is simple but meaningful. Life is hard.
Yes. So powerful. If that’s not asking for equality and justice to be acknowledged.
The seeds of righteousness are not grown in the darkness of ignorance , but in the full light of the truth.
Amen🙏
Amen

Hearing John Lewis’ letter being read through Morgan Freeman’s voice is legendary!
Amen Strong Talk!!!🙏🙏🙏
We Must Keep The FAITH🙏💜
That’s one fact I love about this podcast!
It is all things but more so hypocritical being read by Freeman
JIGS UP are you referencing Blue’s Clues?
This has got to be one of the best send offs in the world. R.I.P.
I think it will go down in history as such. It is so profound!
Fact Area smh 🤦🏾♂️ get a life, no one wants to hear your wack music at a time like this
vergenogen church
Justin Avery I must agree and tears flowing as I listen to Morgan Freeman read the letter. 😭😭😭😭
It was!!!! I never felt more pride in being of Afro descent than following. the services from start to final resting place.Im proud to be an American,a black American.
His last words have nothing to do with himself. What a great soul lost.
Yes indeed. His last words was to still fight for Justice and Righteousness. 💪💯
Your vommdng makes no sense. Hos last words were his. Those ears were everuthjbg he stood on. They were his very essence. Did I miss something (asking seriously)? Your comment is baffling.
@@yourstruly_777 Yeah, it's confusing, I think he meant that he wasn't saying "I did this, I did that, I'm so great", it wasn't self aggrandising.
@JIGS UP how do you know the earth is round? 🤷♂️
Totally for others. All his life.
Probably the MOST unselfish last words EVER. Farewell sir!❤️

@Billy Watson A liberal Republican....Liberals are always on the side of what is right.
Billy Watson There is a time & forum for everything. Your post is not appropriate for this forum. Yes, You are entitled to your opinion but have a ounce of respect when necessary. The video isn’t about Your personal political opinion. It’s about Honoring a Statesman, Congressman & Father who dedicated most of His Teen & Adult life just desiring Equal Justice for All. So disrespectful to post inciting rhetoric on a Tribute video. You can create Your own RUclips page to post Your type rhetoric & your opinions.
@JIGS UP : WRONG... Sounds like you miss eight years of attacks from Republicans and Fox News to the First Black American President Barack Obama... And now they're attacking the First Black VP candidate Kamala Harris... BIDEN-HARRIS 2020: So the phony Billionaire and phony Businessman with the phony hair and phony tan, phony wife, phony University, phony charity, phony Polls, phony hurricane maps, phony COVID "cures", and with 20,000 documented lies says Kamala Harris is phony? Uh, yeah okay hahaha... GET INFORMED IGNORAMUS. 😁
Every human being should watch this!
@Annihilate MAGA Cult please don't give up on us just yet we are trying to get rid of trump but it's going to take time. Most of us aren't blind to how the rest of the world must see us but we are hopeful that the maddness will end soon, just please be patient
His word is being heard, I’m from New Zealand, and that was just so poignant and beautiful. His words will live in history, just as they should.
Nah.
@Fred Davis MO as in Missouri? You're a cult member. It's all good
The ability to unite people through one's words, is one of the traits of a TRUE leader. Thank you John Lewis for being a giant among today's dwarfs.
Amen to that now we have to act upon those words or its basically all for nothing we need to Stand up and fight united as one no violence no rioting just peaceful and we will perval
What an absolutely beautiful and honest send off to a leader of this country.
As a Hispanic American, this brought me to tears knowing that one day, you and me and others in this great country will rise again and take back what we all stood for, and defeat the hate this is before us now!
🙏🏿🙏🏿Thank you
@E H Im sorry to say this will not happen, mankind cannot bring peace and unity, they have been trying for centuries, only God has the power to bring about real peace. Its too late for mankind its not mans place to bring unity. read your bible especially the book of Ezequiel and Daniel. Mankind is at the edge of the cliff, they have caused themselves injury beyond repair.
Its only the people below us that fear and hate us they are blind and narrow minded. They have no real power over us just stand strong and and try to live life the best you can. One day at a time. God well hold your hand if you let
Him.🐦☺💝🎆
Lawrence couldn't have made John Lewis' final words any better. I have hope for a better future. Thank you, gentlemen.
Please use that hope for action? Trump was not just trolling you, America! Barr’s Secret Police units are being expanded, as I type. The Trump’s will NOT ALLOW free and fair elections. They KNOW they’re going to jail! Put ALL your energy into OUTLAWING unconstitutional, illegal Secret Police units! “You must say something. You must DO SOMETHING!”
You mean Morgan Freeman couldn't have made John Lewis' final words any better...
@@amydavis4945 No, I meant what I said. Lawrence aired the speech.
After I saw it, I went to his page to thank him for this, He is a great man and I won't mis not one of his shows
@@amydavis4945 hahaha
John Lewis’ last message will forever be the soul of what America. These words will be read for countless generations and hundreds of years. His words remind us oh what it is to be American and the responsibility we each have must never forget to uphold. God bless you Mr.Lewis. Thank you for the souls you have touched and thank you to the heavens for letting you touch our lives.
May his Powerful words echo within the mind of every American on Voting day!
Powerful last words, so inspiring RIP Mr. Lewis you've earned your wings 💔

Amen
Go out and vote in his memory. Now more than Ever.
Amen to that. We all need to go out and vote, PLEASE!
*This needs to be heard EVERYWHERE! R.I.P.* 😢💔😢
Amen to that!!
Tears are flowing down my face, such a wise, brave, generous and kind man! Sir, I've long respected and admired you; because, I know that had I suffered the slightest fraction of what you endured, I don't know that this redhead would just get into "good trouble". My respect and admiration has just grown 10 fold or more. May you truly rest peacefully with Our Father God, who knows no color except for the color & content of our souls. He certainly knows you've earned it. I know you've earned it. You're an iconic figure, not just to be mentioned in February during Black History month but in the tapestry of our UNITED AMERICAN history. Rest in Peace, sir.
Amen.
Thank you.
So true thank you✌🏿✌🏿✌🏻✌🏼✌️✌🏾✌🏿🙏🏿We shall over come
@Fred Davis well Fred, we the American people forgive you for your bad voting record...but that's not why we are all here. We want to hear the final words/thoughts of John Lewis, truly a great American.
Redheads for Peace and Justice?
I hope to live up to what John Lewis has inspired us to do. He was a true hero.
A hero to all who believe in the promise of an undivided and equal union under God 🙏❤️🇺🇸💙
And so, we must VOTE!!! ruclips.net/video/RL-uatlGekQ/видео.html
Me too
Frederick Wells his contributions to history both past and present will never be forgotten.
This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen or heard, or believe I ever will.
This is most enlightened human act I have just borne witness to.
The kids all over the world have been inspirational during this crisis. R.I.P John Lewis.
Today, for all progressive, caring people who care about the fate of the planet, the fate of people, the fate of humanity! Today, it is unequivocally and irrevocably clear that warming is the main threat to humanity. It is extremely important to pay attention to projects that can change the situation on a global scale. to stop further warming. The main supplier of gases that provoke warming is a thermal power plant, which burns coal, gas, oil,...and the atom, too!. Exactly my invention…

This man dedicated his entire life to fighting for what is right and just. Sadly, his fight is over. 😔 He reminded us all of the greatness of America, and how much greatness we have yet to achieve. 🙂
Not without an intense fight.
I’m not American, but his words are profound and felt around the wold. Bless him and may he rest peacefully.
Of the **potential** greatness....
@@johnbrattan9341 We must die so we can live, We will fight for a better tomorrow, No more being a coward where racist is attacking women and children and using the police as their aid, I say no more !
Walt Schmidt You’re DUMB!
Just remember, Trump did not give proper condolences to this man. That says alot
Fact
He'll probably go to Cain's funeral. Where the 4 other living presidents won't.
And for that, I don't think I can forgive trump for a very long time. To not honor another man in the tradition of many civilized people. To refuse to even pay respects in the Capitol rotunda! And to announce his refusal in such a rude and dismissive tone was ugly. To not forget or overlook a stupid spat that trump may have had 3 years ago? With a man who has most surely gone to heaven? To refuse to act as most humans due, if only out of courtesy.
Donald j trump is a little little man. His "stature" decreases with every sentence he utters.
And to those who say I should respect trump bec he has the title of "president" I say no, he has relinquished any expectation of respect, now and for his lack of respect and mercy for his fellow man throughout his life.
RIP John Lewis
@@cathieludemann5879 Did you vote for Trump?
It takes humility to admit that during lifetime there are issues that have distanced us from others, but that at the moment of death these distances disappear and we show respect not for the issues, but for the integrity of the man/woman who persued them with dedication. Trump lacks both humility and respect, and for that reason he was unable to go beyond a Tweet which had not even been checked for grammar errors. Despicable.
Awaiting John Lewis at the gates of heaven, was undoubtedly, the spirit of Dr Martin Luther King Jr himself, hand reached out and greeting an old friend.
Skeptical Chris I can just picture that
no doubt Chris
I think King will ask him why he did absolutely nothing for black people for the past 60 years
Yes he well see all his loved ones there waitingng for him to arrive.🐦💝

It is our “ moral obligation “ not to stay quiet when we see injustice happening around us....What great words. RIP great fighter.
It truly is our moral obligation. One I feel blessed to fulfill. It's time, this generation has been waiting for a savior...it's us.
"Death is something inevitable. When a man has done what he considers to be his duty to his people and his country he can rest in peace. I believe I have made that effort and that is, therefore, why I will sleep for the eternity."

🙏🏿🙏🏿so true
Amen
Jennifer, I've never heard this saying by Mandela, and obviously comes from a TRUE leader that has seen and made it through troubled times and leading people with humility. Thanks for sharing🙏🙏🙏
Well done, Lawrence. Morgan brings an added emotion that reading it myself was missing. Loved the pictures that accompanied the narrative. Thank You. RIP Mr. Lewis, go with peace. 🕯
Yes He Does♥️♥️♥️🌟🌟🌟
Lawrence O'Donnell brings an added emotion😁😄
Sweetie you need help!
You going to cry now
Earnest T Bass You missed the word “Morgan brings an added emotion”, genius.
@@kelleybryant5947 😳 how could I😁 thanks teach📚
💞😌🖤❤
There is a word for men like John Lewis. Statesman, a true gentleman and a credit to everything the United States is supposed to be.
His bravery and eloquence will be missed.
A double rainbow appeared over the U.S. Capitol as John Lewis was lying in state. Google it to see the pics.
Thank you! That was a beautiful thing to see.
He was God sent.... Heaven is having a welcome home celebration, hence the rainbow.
@@JKis_right thank you i love it
That’s a sign! 👍🙏🏻
Thanks for sharing.
Wow .
That means that movements (plural) all over the world must work together as John requested in his last words.
Good people, pious people and God fearing/loving people now will try to support each other, if they are seriously faith based, not fear or atheism based, because God never designated Himself as a color, or even as belonging to a Jewish, or Hindu, or Christian or Muslim or any other group with a name or doctrine of rituals.
What a truly good human being. I am nothing compared to this great man. We must learn from his words and his example. Pick up the torch he had passed. This, this is what should be taught to all children. Forever more. May he Rest In Peace. God Bless his soul. 💔🇺🇲💔🙏💪
Sandra Whitlock well said. I think there are only a few times in ones life that you truely feel humbled by another’s words. For me, this is one of those times, and I’m not even American. You have lost a true leader.
No, don't ever think of yourself as "nothing", even in comparison.
Compare your work/past works if you really want to but never to think you are "less".
@@telectronix1368 Oh. Thank you. 🤗
"In my life, i have done all that i can" though that was not the full sentence..those words should be encouragement enough for you and i to fight for our freedoms and rights. I have admired this man and Elijah Cummings my whole life. I cant believe we lost both in less than a year apart. That hurts so much..but I am sure they are resting quite comfortably now, after such long journeys
Every American should learn from this mans life. To have the courage, fortitude and perseverance to stand for what is right, what is just and what is true in the face of the power of fear, violence and hate aligned against you is a testament to his courage. He made us better but his work is a work in process and now is the time to finish this work and complete the promises of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution for each and every person.
That was beutiful and inspirational...
What a beautiful man. Beautiful words. Thank you for doing this.
John showed us the best of America, may the rest of us be worthy of his efforts.
💛💛 I love hearing Morgan Freeman’s voice reading this. Rest In Peace John Lewis. You paved the way! 💛💛
We have to save our country....all of us who still believe that good can still prosper. Let's us all remember we are the generation that will change things with our voices, hearts and especially our vote.
You are so right...dont ever give up
WE WON’T EVER GIVE UP!
@@GreenDragon11 👍
A hero indeed.
@Fred Davis oh your mad about all of your Confederate, traitor flags and statues coming down right? Or the fact that all races are coming together to fight racism and bigotry?
As always I enjoyed listening to Morgan Freeman, but today it was with even greater love and interest.
In losing Mr Lewis we have lost an amazing sole, but we will always have his words and the record of his actions that helped change how we treat one another.
Thank you Mr John Lewis for making the world my children are growing up in a better place.
I'm not American but the voice of morgan hairs on my neck stand up. Rip joun Lewis x

appreciate this lawrence. on the occasion a founding father passes away
This made me tear up.
@@obcl8569 me too, I was literally in tears.
@Fred Davis Yes, founding father. Every generation needs them.
So eloquent. Brilliant Intelligent HERO.
John Lewis' words brought tears to my eyes. Go rest high on that holy mountain, sir - may we all make you proud.
Beautifully written by a great and wise man and beautifully orated by a great friend of this wise man. Nobody could have spoken it better with such feelings...
Beautiful and inspiring.
RIP Mr, Lewis
He was such an incredible individual.
Greetings from the UK. All right minded folks in the USA should listen to these beautiful words every day. You guys have an enormous rebuilding task ahead of you. Keep the faith, you are stronger than you may think. John Lewis is with you and looking down on you. Peace to you all.
South Africa mourns with you.
John Lewis was your Mandela.
Trade Aware 🙏
Thank you for your kind words he shall be missed
Indeed we do.
🙏🏿🙏🏿Thank you
My God! How beautiful!
Lewis was a great man, compare that to the empty husk we have as President. You will be missed Mr. Lewis. RIP
The work is hard and far from over, DO IT FOR JOHN! ❤️🇺🇸💙
Much like the day e. Cummings left this sphere, today i gave thanks for yet another beautiful son that god allowed us to borrow for a short time. I wept, I mourned and am paralyzed by fear today. Fear of what my children must endure tomorrow in this great land we call the home of the free. One less protector, one less pair of wings to shroud them . It is a hard pain, one mothers feel every day but on days like today, one that terrifies in this mighty U.S. of A.
I know Ms. Rose but cannot stop fighting! No matter what it takes in peaceful protests!!!
He hasn't left us his soul may be with God but his spirit forever resides in those of us who dare fight the good fight for justice and equality. Be not afraid be inspired for now he is our guardian Angel.
Ms Rose I am going to bet that you've taught your children to BE the next great protector of this country. The words and actions of this great man act as a guide for you, your children, my child and myself. I was taught social justice through the words and actions of my parents and grandparents. I do my best to pass these teachings on to my daughter. And our children will carry the torch on to their children and grandchildren.
A MAN
A decent wise man
A true humanitarian
Thank you Sir for your words
From Australia I listen to your words today
I will listen often and feel blessed to know what a gentleman and man for all men you are 💜
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿Thank you
Fine man.
One of the kind
This nation needs man and woman like him!
Truly moving and inspiring. And remember his words “vote like your life depended on it.” RIP Good Trouble ...... BLM FDT 1619 TMC 🏁

Loved that Lawrence. It was amazing to hear and gives hope.
Thank you for sharing John Lewis' last message read by Morgan Freeman. It meant a lot to me to hear it read by Morgan. RIP John Lewis.
This made me cry. I wish every single American could not only hear this speech --- but feel it deep in his and her hearts.
Such is the power of the human spirit, it transcends mortality in the testimony it leaves behind, though never having met the man, his words resonate with all that is good and highest aspirations of humanity. RIP Mr. J Lewis.
Almost as motivational as Malcolm X eulogy, Rest in peace prince👑
What a beautiful tribute
MSNBC - John Lewis, was a remarkable American. His life a true example of Love. I think in this time, at this time, his last words are as important, clear sighted and as timeless as MLK's I have a dream speech. Non Violent, Good Trouble, Equality FOR ALL - period! Your providing the air time and Morgan Freeman reading John's words - that is the journalism YOU should and must do EVERYDAY! That honest, that pure, that important. PLEASE. Thank You.
You’ve inspired us all, Sir. Rest in heaven warrior! Let’s all go out and get into some “good trouble”.
You have walked with the angels. Now you are one.
John Lewis is a a true American hero 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 ❤️❤️❤️
Rest in power John Lewis ✊ The match goes Inc Ctr
I wonder who the dislikes are and more importantly why. PLEASE VOTE, WHEREVER THEY ALLOW, IF YOU HAVE TO WEAR A GARBAGE BAG, GLOVES, SCARVES, MASK AND STAND FOR A DAY, PLEASE STAND! CAST YOUR VOTE, IT MAY BE THE LAST CHANCE WE GET TO STAND FOR AMERICA. MAKE THAT CHANGE November 3 2020, LET'S MAKE HISTORY VOTE!
Trumpers: MAKE 🇺🇲HATEAGAIN💯
Grabdraplady, you make me laugh with your “wear a garbage bag, gloves, scarves, mask, etc” that is too funny but you so right! Please people, VOTE. Vote like your life depends on it because it does.
Well said. It sadly appears that if people don't vote and wanna dictator Trump stays in power all lives are in danger, more so than if people went out with the right protection and voted. Vote like your lives depend on it because from what I see, they do 💜
You just need to read some of the comments here (not just in reply to you, but to others, too) to know where those dislikes come from and why. It’s a real shame these people aren’t able to see the truth.
It is a shame. That said, the percentage of people disliking this video is 0.0005%. So pretty much everyone likes this.
Dare I fail this extraordinary ordinary person, dare I forget his courageous deeds, and lose the Way! All human and humane is a Man of stature. The gratitude that is mine to have shared this earth with him.
Words of a living human history book. Words gained by living and changing the face of America. A living witness to the all the wrongs and rights of our country. This was a man's man who's fight we must carry on.
That was beautifully read. Made me cry. RIP John Lewis ❤
Wow, more powerful words than I have heard in a long time. Words from a true patriot, agent of change, and proponent of everlasting love.
John Lewis was an inspiration to everyone regardless of the color of your skin but particularly for those with color of their skin. Never to give up and always preserver. Rest In Peace dear man. You will be missed dearly!
Moving, inspiring, and necessary words, to hear, and to live by.
This message was so emotional for me and I thought to myself what a decent human being, John Lewis, he lived his life for peace in the midst of constant violence and hatred. May you stand at the right hand of God our Father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name. Amen. America use your ultimate power to honour John Lewis Legacy.
Brings me to tears, beautiful words. Thank you, thank you!! RIP Mr. John Lewis.
Magnificent! I have tears in my eyes from listening to those words. What a man John Lewis was. Greetings from Ireland :)

I wept when I read Rep. John Lewis' words the day of his funeral. Now listening to them spoken aloud from a good friend of his just gave me the chills. RIP power, sir.
Wow! Simply beautiful and inspiring.😢 An oasis of serenity in the middle of a desert of depravity perpetuated by the festering rot of humanity sitting in the WH. A beacon of light and wisdom, amidst the dark madness of bigotry and rabid insanity. Hope, not fear, leads the way. My maximum respect. 🙏 R.I.P. Wise Sir. 🙏
Thank you John Lewis for thinking about those around you, even in your last moments the lives of others mattered to you most.
Your truly wise words will be heard and felt by all. Rest in Power.
I nearly teared up listening to this. Incredibly moving.
Thank you Congressman John Lewis you made a big difference in millions of American lives you will never be forgotten!
I’m not crying. You’re crying. 🙏🏽💛
Totally inspirational. True leader with a message of hope and action.
Wow, gave me goosebumps to listen to the words of Rep Lewis in the incredible voice of Morgan Freeman. RIP Rep Lewis, the world has lost a true hero.
Just exquisite, personified across the ages and times Rest In Peace dear brother!
A wonderful speech by Lewis, and a wonderful rendition by Freeman.
What an awesome message for all of us, especially for those who are physically fighting injustices throughout the world through their protesting. Now is the moment. So glad Rep. John Lewis lived long enough to see hope in the future of this world.
Tears ran down my face as I listened to this, I was truly heart broken when I heard of his passing, I pray this will inspire new generations to vote and make a difference.
RIP John lewis
A man of integrity and purpose. I am learning today of those who stood up when few were listening, who saw a better way, a higher goal at a time I was distracted. Oh how I wish I had been there. Marching.
I LOVE MORGAN FREEMAN😔 VERY FITTING TO HEAR THE VOICE OF MORGAN FREEMAN 😔 READING OUR GREAT REP. LEWIS LAST WORDS 😔
Inspiring words read by a gifted actor. Thank you Mr O'Donnell for bringing Mr. Lewis' words to life for posterity. May he rest in perfect peace, may we all be emboldened to speak up and stand up for what is right, and may God protect every one who does so.
That was truly beautiful. Some of the most important words ever written read by one of the best voices.
A selfless men this men is a true American hero! We need more people like him with a vision. “Necessary trouble” men those words struck deep. RIP Rep. Lewis
Thank you for presenting John's last words to us from one whose voice is so great as Morgan Freeman. Rest in Power, John Lewis.
