In Memory of John Lewis

In memory of John Lewis, few of his words:

"We are one people with one family. We all live in the same house... and through books, through information, we must find a way to say to people that we must lay down the burden of hate. For hate is too heavy a burden to bear."

"If you ask me whether the election of Barack Obama is the fulfillment of Dr. King's dream, I say, 'No, it's just a down payment.'"

"When you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have to speak up. You have to say something; you have to do something."

"You must be bold, brave, and courageous and find a way... to get in the way."

"The vote is precious. It's almost sacred, so go out and vote like you never voted before."
