And you know, back in march, john lewis was here and he gave some parting advice to the next generation to get in good trouble. To get in the way. And so many people that came out here today say they want to continue on his legacy. They wanted to come here to say goodbye and let him know that we got it from here, george. Thomas, one of the last of his generation. George, the greatest generation of civil rights leaders, were losing them one by we lost reverend lowery in march. In the past days we lost c. T. Vivian.
