John Lewis, civil rights giant, crosses infamous Selma bridge one final time
Solemn crowds watched as Lewis, who died July 17 at the age of 80, was borne by caisson over the Edmund Pettus Bridge. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/...final-n1234941 A bridge which, sadly, is named for a traitor and KKK leader. One day, if there is any justice, it will be renamed in honor of this great man. |
I think something is already underway regarding renaming the bridge.

Seen just now in the sky right after John Lewis's funeral service in D.C., a double rainbow, and it hadn't even rained.

Just caught a bit of President Obama's eulogizing. ;) He invoked the shades of Bull Conner and George Wallace while decrying the GOP's attempts to screw the vote during the upcoming election.
Dang, I sure do miss Mr.'No Drama' Obama's quiet and steady leadership even when he was prosecuting and executing public enemy number one, Usama Bin Ladin. Best president in my lifetime and I'm older than Unca Sandy at AK. :D:cool: |
