    John Lewis really was such an incredible man to have ever been around so much of the Civil Rights Movement, and then along with other marchers, later on in his and America's life. This is a true story: when I was 13, my family and I had saw him being interviewed by the news, about Obama's first Inauguration and when I was unaware of who he was and such after we had our picture with him, (when not many teachers have discussed him, nor taught me more of the people around the CRM) my mother told me all about him, and I was just amazed at how he has seen so much in his eyes and in his heart, for what he wanted to see America stand for, just like with MLK Jr. And now that he sadly passed on, it's gonna take a whole lot of heart and motivation to remember all that he wanted us to do, when it comes to voting and marching peacefully for Peace, Love, Hope, and for Black Lives that matter. John Lewis, thank you for your "good trouble" and thank you for motivating me to keep on being positive for what continues to go on in this country, no matter what the crisis is and who is running it.

    I’ve never seen a memorial or statue and never knew knew his name. I live in Troy and ran a business in Selma AL and never heard his name! When integration came I was going to a new high school! The school had a grade point average of 3.6 on a 4 point grade point avg! 4 yrs later mist white families moved out and moved outside and built expensive homes and new schools! The new schools didn’t offer free breakfasts and lunches! And our football, baseball teams were number 1 in all city sports and state conferences! The giv literally gave them homes and 2 yrs later the homes were trashed the lawn were bare dirt and they still make up over 75% of all people in the housing projects! We’ve GIVEN THEM AND STILL DO give them welfare food stamps 1/2 price for utilities that whites can’t get! Don’t tell me that’s fare!

      If you have issues with black people, LGBT and immigrants you have a problem because you are uneducated. You have been given everything and still can't accomplish sh**! Don't blame others because you are dumb Robert. You can fix it! You still have time to go back to school and get an education. They have school online as well. If you can't read go find a tutor because right now you are a simpleminded person showing how stupid you are. We forgive you though. God is LOVE!
