I am lucky to have been able to hear Congressman John Lewis tell his preaching to chickens story four times in person. I would be happy to hear the same story another dozen times.
I have some great pictures from the National Convention with Congressman Lewis and Kareem standing next to each other with Keith Ellison in back ground.
