    1. Do you know you can earn up to R30,000 daily just with the little invest of R,10,000…ask me How 👉🏻👉🏻+12546628226

  2. I’m so dumb when I saw a thumbnail pic of his face and the title John Lewis “lies” in state Georgia capital I was like wait a minute I thought he died? RIP John Lewis

  3. For God’s sake put the man in the ground. 3 days to bury JFK, 5 days to bury MLK, we are going on 2 weeks for John Lewis. Great man yes but can this be any more of a sideshow? Rivals Barnum and Bailey parading around the nation. I fear that they are going to get to the cemetery and then reverse it all, go backward the whole way and then do it again. Don’t know how they are going to get that horse in to go in reverse back across the Pettus Bridge though.

  4. “RIP” to a real gangster John Lewis you will always be remembered I never met you but I just want to say may you rest in peace and with the Honors that you deserve..🌍☝️🤲❤😷

  5. I wasn’t around during the Civil Rights era I wasn’t even born yet, but John Lewis from what I learned about him was a very great honourable man who stood up for the Injustices of this country against his own people. That takes great courage from a man to do that knowing the odds were stacked against him. And because of him and others especially the great Martin Luther King Junior people of color have come a long way and I just hope I live long enough to see all people of color fully exonerated and a have all the blessings of this Earth that us whites have. Because God created this beautiful Earth for all of us to be here! I just pray that someday we all learn that God loves all of us regardless what color we are or who we are and that Jesus died for each and every one of us and not just a few. and that we should come to love each other the way God loves us without seeing color and that we break these walls of racial barriers down once and for all! And I know deep in my heart for a fact that John Lewis is now in the promised land with Martin Luther King Junior where he will finally be treated with all the love that a person deserves from the almighty God himself!
