My one last check of Facebook before turning in for the night is usually pretty uneventful, especially after midnight, but this time it lit up with news of the passing of John Lewis, hero of the civil rights movement and US Rep. from GA. Speaker Pelosi’s statement is here.
Please share widely!
“Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.”-John Lewis
Despair is the unforgiveable sin.
“Leaders are either thermometers or thermostats. One measures temperature and the other sets it.” Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
John Robert Lewis was a leader.
The urgency of now. We all must practice what we preach.
NOW!
