Yearold kid entered through a lifetime to keep moving. Keep moving in the right direction keep bringing other people to move and to do it without hatred in his heart to sing and dance. As his brother freddie said introit keep moving to the ballot box even if it is a mailbox. Keep moving to the beloved committee. John lewis was many things. But, he was a man, a friend and sunshine in a storm and a friend would walk a stony road that he asked you to argue would brave the rods he asked you to be whipped by keeping his eyes on the prize and believing, none of us will be free until all of us are equal.

Out of the night that covers me, black as a pit from pole to pole, i think whatever god may be to my inconquerable soul. In the fell clutches of circumstance, i have not winced nor cried aloud.
