Right there together.. the President of the United
States of America giving our Civil Rights Icon, John Lewis. the Medal of Freedom.
What a day in history!
The Honorable John R. Lewis. From his activism in the civil rights movement to his nearly 25 years in the House of Representatives, John R. Lewis has dedicated his life to shattering barriers and fighting injustice. The son of sharecroppers from Alabama, he rose with courage, fortitude and purpose to organize the first student sit-ins and the earliest freedom rides. The youngest speaker at the 1963 March on Washington, a fearless advocate and a distinguished member of Congress, John Lewis has earned our lasting gratitude for a lifetime dedicated to the pursuit of equality and justice for all.

Not "All" of us. I appreciated him every single day. Many of us did.. We
have The Barack Obama Group here to prove it.
We had to have a group like that to be able to celebrate and discuss his admin without the Whiners who didn't appreciate a damn thing.
You're right, grant.. but trump's Assaults on the Free Press..
are dangerously reminiscent of these historical monsters..
Trump’s War on the Press Follows the Mussolini and Hitler Playbook
Never forget: Mussolini and Hitler made their first target the press. After a year of ‘alternative facts’ you can see why.
The abasement of language by Donald Trump and his assorted flacks began long before, but this concept was so naked, so novel and so unblinkingly forthright that it established the rules for the assault to come, just as the first salvo of an artillery barrage signals the creation of a new battlefield where there will be many casualties.

Trump has spent two years vilifying the “dishonest” media (including The Daily Beast), even invoking the Nazi chant of “enemies of the people.” Aided by the alt right zealots at Breitbart, he has successfully persuaded millions of Americans that The New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, and MSNBC are seditious forces bent on denigrating and destroying the man they elected.
