Thank you and I can't agree more.

Mr. Lewis has been a hero of mine all my life.
He was a great man who left a great legacy for the rest of the nation.
Everyone who loves America, freedom, justice and equal rights is mourning today.
RIP Mr. Lewis. We will take it from here. You gave us a great example to follow.
