In his final days, dying of pancreatic cancer, Congressman John R. Lewis had some parting words for the American people. They offer hope in these turbulent times. On the odd chance that you missed them, here is the first paragraph and a link the NY Times has made available to all interested, and sentient, readers.
One of our readers, YT, pointed me to Morgan Freeman reading John Lewis' Last Words. It's 5 minutes long and powerfully moving with words and images.
"While my time here has now come to an end, I want you to know that in the last days and hours of my life you inspired me. You filled me with hope about the next chapter of the great American story when you used your power to make a difference in our society. Millions of people motivated simply by human compassion laid down the burdens of division. Around the country and the world you set aside race, class, age, language and nationality to demand respect for human dignity."
