  1. "You cannot be at home with something that you feel is wrong." The great freedom fighter .

  2. When Trump mocks American hero John Lewis, don't be shocked. Trump does nothing but recycle trash. He's an old evil.

  3. I live in Lewis's district of Atlanta, one of the fastest growing business and tech havens for black and women owned business. Try again.

  4. Trump assumes John Lewis represents a poor district that's "falling apart" simply because he is black. Textbook definition of racism.

  5. It's telling, I'm afraid, that Donald Trump treats Vladimir Putin with more respect than he does John Lewis.

  6. The president elect has started the Martin Luther King holiday weekend by attacking John Lewis, one of the great heros of civil rights era.

  7. On this Martin Luther King Jr. weekend, let it be clear that John Lewis is an American patriot. Trump's attacks on him further confirm it.

  8. The thing that's striking about America's historical amnesia and racism, is that many of the policeman who beat John Lewis are still alive.

  9. Every parent should talk to their children about all John Lewis has done for our nation. Teachers too—show your students what leadership is.
