President bush good morning. Distinguished guests, johnmiles, lewis family and friends, i thank you for inviting us to be here today.

[ applause ] only the inconquerable spirit and the magnanimous soul of john lewis could summon all of us together in this place at this time. Only john lewis could compel three living american president s to come to this house of god. To celebra
