CNN)John Robert Lewis, the son of sharecroppers who survived a brutal beating by police during a landmark 1965 march in Selma, Alabama, to become a towering figure of the civil rights movement and a longtime US congressman, has died after a six-month battle with cancer. He was 80
A real hero. It is sad we have so few politicians who are willing to put themselves on the line for their beliefs. We have a president who wants to play tough, but he could not have even dealt with 1/100 of the stuff that John Lewis had to endure.
RIP to a great American and real hero
Rest in peace. A real American hero. Saw a great picture of Lewis, MLK, and JFK at the White House. A part of history.
A man of substance that demonstrated leadership.
America greatness is its struggle to move forward. Not print nonsense on a hat.
True definition of bravery and brilliance.
