Many, many thanks to the Q moderators and all the posters that let this thread on a tribute to John Lewis stand.

Thank You John Lewis, because of you my children are better off.  But work still needs to be done.

It must have been such a joy for Rep. Lewis  to see the journey of President Obama from Harvard law, Senator and then President of the US.

Wow!

And thank you ladies for sharing a most humble, uplifting and tribute filled afternoon.

@JaneMarple  Thank you for adding class in all caps.  I will add articulate.

If you need a smile or 2 find the clip of John Lewis dancing at I believe Arethea Franklin's service and President meeting little boy dressed as Superman in the hallway at the White House.

Yes, it was @Mersha ... I especially remember meeting him at a  bookstore, carrying his daughter on his shoulders, when he was still a state senator representing Chicago's Kenwood-Hyde Park neighborhood.

@SoX   You were so fortunate to meet him.

Could you see that "special something" in him even back then?

What a beautiful tribute this was.  Rest in peace, Mr. Lewis.
