4yearold kid and took through a lifetime to keep moving and keep moving in the right direction and keep bringing other people to move. And to do it without hatred in his heart. With a song, to be able to sing and dance. As johns brother freddy said in troy, keep moving to the ballot box even if its a mailbox and keep moving to the beloved comeny. John lewis was many things but he was a man. A friend and sunshine in storm. A friend who would walk the stony roads that he asked you to walk. That would brave the chastening rods he asked you to be whipped by. Always keeping his eyes on the prize. Always believing none of us will be free until all of us are equal. I just love that. I always will. And im so grate that feel he stayed true to form. Hes gone up yonder and left us with marching orders. I suggest since hes close enough to god to keep his eye on the sparrow and us we salute, suit up and march on. [ applause ] good day. Im not sure morning, afternoon, whatever it is, it is an honor
