Lewis was essentially a racist troll. Blacks with talent, intelligence and skill were hired just like Whites throughout the history of the USA. The ugly beast had nothing to offer so he joined the Commie Blacks (Micheal King, the troll on the bus, etc.) financed by well-funded White-hating "Justice Warrior" entities not taking into account the South was fucked over after the tragically unnecessary Civil War and the subsequent racial tension was intentional. Just like now.
We will?Its funny, so many conservatives are quick to point out that republicans were the ones who worked for civil rights first. And when one of those on the front lines of the civil rights movement in the early days, dies, the vitriol and hate comes spewing. John Lewis was beaten down during the first Selma March, known as Bloody Sunday. He bore the scars from that the rest of his life. But he kept going.
In 1961, Lewis was one of the original Freedom Riders. They were seven whites and six blacks who rode a bus from Washington to New Orleans. Their crime? They had the audacity to sit next to each other. Mobs met the bus and there was violence against the riders. The SCOTUS had ruled that forced segregation on interstate buses was unconstitutional in 1960. A year later the Freedom Fighters were not only attacked and beaten, they were arrested for violating Jim Crow laws, which had been declared unconstitutional. And still he came back.
And he never returned the violence. He never looted, burned or destroyed property. He was a strong advocate for peaceful protest.
All he wanted was change for his people. And he stood up when so many refused to get beaten, hosed, attacked by dogs ect. John Lewis refused to quit.
He was ostracized by other members of the civil rights movement when he refused to give up his peaceful protest and respond with violence.
R.I.P. John Lewis. You earned your rest. But we will miss your voice of reason.
Who is "we"? You got a mouse in your pocket or something?

"We", as in the people who want peaceful protests instead of violence.
He marched against democrats,, than he joined them. For money, he’s part of the FDR I’ll keep these knickers voting Democrat for years.Lewis was essentially a racist troll.

Absolute bullshit. In 1961 Lewis endured several beatings by mobs as a member of the Freedom Riders. His crime? Sitting beside a white person who was traveling in his group.
He marched for the right for blacks to register to vote. Something so important and so common it is now hard to fathom.
.....I agree with you there...what happened then was horrible....but it wasn't ALL whites ....or ALL cops /etc.....Sammy Davis Jr was not even allowed to stay in the Hotels he worked at, if I'm not mistaken ...but blacks did bad things also..he got bullied in the serviceWhere the Marxist liberal Poli media onslaught began. He got pushed to the ground once and you would think he was brutally beaten by police. Another historical lie.
Tributes pour in for civil rights icon and US Rep. John Lewis: 'We have lost a giant'
U.S. Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., one of the nation’s most preeminent civil rights figures, died Friday night, according to reports. He was 80.www.foxnews.com
Pushed down? He had his skull fractured. When he was a Freedom Rider, he was beaten by a group of ignorant rednecks in a Greyhound buss station restroom. He was arrested several times on that trip. All because he had the audacity to sit next to a white person traveling in his group.
Those who marched in the 1960s were not violent rioters. Some, like John Lewis did not even fight back. They were beaten and murdered for marching for the right to register to vote. Not out of some misguided loyalty to criminals who were killed by police. They wanted to vote.
He was a good puppet for you guysJohn Lewis was a great American Patriot
Risked his life and freedom fighting for Liberty and Justice
Lunch counter sit in’s
Freedom Rider
Led the March in Selma
Spoke before Martin Luther Kings.......I have a dream
He will be missed

And he used that to support the wace baiting and lefty agenda of the modern liberals today.
Sorry, Lewis was not the voice of reason.

Yeah, how dare we praise a black man who put his own safety and life in danger to fight against Jim Crow laws and for blacks to be able to register to vote.
