MONDAY MUSINGS: WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW...

This past Friday our country lost another icon, something we just don't have enough of, especially in politics nowadays. A biblical man who served three decades as the "Conscience of Congress,"a voice of truth speaking up against our country's injustices towards not only people of color but for humanity who was respected by his colleagues, constituents and countrymen.

This son of Alabama sharecroppers was one of the original 13 Freedom Riders in SNNC, rode on those busses in the 60's and faced the brutal police batons on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in that nonviolent march to Selma. He walked with King in the March in Washington. This man who believed and acted in nonviolence was John Robert Lewis. 

As Reverend Barber pointed out "It is in honor of John Lewis's  name we should pass the bill for healthcare, living wages and against monies for big corporations." 

We should 'get it right' to protect the vote for all peoples. 

June 7 2020 John Lewis was there...

As the song says so well is what the World Needs Now is love, sweet love filled with activism so that 'we shall overcome someday.'

May we continue John Lewis's legacy...
