Images of his beating at Selma shocked the nation and led to swift passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. He was later called the conscience of the Congress.

Do we have to do everything for you guys?
C'mon man
Now if he died of COVID-19, well your boys would have started 22 threads
RIP John Lewis, by all accounts you were a good man when the cameras weren't rolling
Godspeed
“I think the Russians participated in helping this man get elected,” Mr. Lewis said in a television interview days before Mr. Trump took office. “And they helped destroy the candidacy of Hillary Clinton. I don’t plan to attend the inauguration. It will be the first one that I miss since I’ve been in the Congress. You cannot be at home with something that you feel that is wrong, is not right.” -- John Lewis
How would you know about this? Are you watching Fox News when your wife isn't looking?
Lewis was a lying, divisive, hatefilled race baiter.
He falsely accused the Tea Party of shouting the “N-word” during a protest against Obamacare in March 2020. He also frequently referred to Republican presidential candidates as racist. Once, he falsely accused Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) of not participating in the civil rights movement. (Sanders was, in fact, arrested during a civil rights protest in Chicago.) Lewis also falsely accused President Trump of supporting white supremacists, saying that he cried when Trump said there were “good people on both sides” of protests in Charlottesville, Virginia. (Trump actually condemned the white supremacists “totally.”)
That is how he made his living.
Maybe at one time he had good intentions but power and hate can consume you as you become the person you once opposed.
