He lived the fight for justice and equality through almost or all of modernity. His weapons were his will, his strength to face violence with nonviolence, the truth of equality, the evil realities of racism, and justice, and nonviolent protests. And he was a politician. House Representatives are not graced with the immunities US Senators are. To my knowledge, John Lewis never once was investigated let alone found guilty of offense as a Representative. His is an example for generations to follow - and he did lead generations.
I genuinely hope to see an America someday in my life which expects and enforces the highest of its politicians again. There was a time where being a politician was respectable and honorable. It’s the position they should hold. I hope we regain that societal cohesion again. I think John Lewis was one such politician.
He is missed.
