Its in the place where john usually sat in the front row of a section that many of the members of the congressional ack caucus held forth, conspired sometimes, plotted, and made progress for the American People. Its appropriate that we have those flowers there. Where john sat. For so many years. John meacham who is writing a book on john lewis told us yesterday on a caucus call that when john was born he was born into a garden. He loved to be in the garden. He loved to be with the chicks, as we know, little chickens. And he loved to see things grow. Loved to see things grow. And he lived his life in that way.

Remarks from three former president s, george w. Bush, bill clinton, and barack obama. Live coverage is here on cspan3. Amen. This is john lewis favorite poem, invictus. 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.

Popularity. Hes about purpose. Never give up. Never give in. The 17term congressman faces a new foe. Vowing to battle cancer, with the same courage hes used to fight for civil rights. His commitment through the years paved the way for a new generation. Barack obama does not become president of the United States without a john lewis. John lewis led them on a mission to change america. Our country will never, ever be the same because of what happened on this bridge. When activists turned out to protest the trump administrations separation of Migrant Children from their parents in june 2018, congressman john lewis was there.
