5. I can only imagine what John Lewis must be feeling.
I have a sharp and vivid imagination, but it would never come close to the pride and joy this man must be carrying in his heart.

7. Dear man, John Lewis .....
And I remember Fannie Lou Hamer and her heroic breakthru at

the '68 convention --

From baseball players to musical artists, poets -- Thurgood Marshall --

African-Americans have shown their excellence -- their tremendous courage.
