He saw the worst of us and still believed in the best of us. Rest in Power, sir. I am forever grateful for your example as Defender of Justice, and that you shared your time and your stories with my son and his classmates. An unforgettable encounter. God bless you. 🙏🏻 (RP @katiecouric ) A huge loss. John Lewis, who went from being the youngest leader of the 1963 March on Washington to a long-serving congressman from Georgia and icon of the civil rights movement, has died after battling cancer. He was 80. As a leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, Mr. Lewis was a committed participant in some of the key moments of the movement — an original Freedom Rider in 1961, a principal speaker at the March on Washington in 1963, one of those brutally clubbed during a 1965 march in Selma, Alabama. Through it all, he faced taunts, beatings and dozens of arrests. In 2011, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Obama. “If you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have a moral obligation to do something about it.” John Lewis was a true American hero. Rest In Peace, sir. #breakingnews #johnlewis #restinpeace」7月18日 14時19分
