"I have lost a dear friend and a real hero. I will always remember standing on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma with John Lewis on a misty Sunday morning many years ago. John pointed to the spot where he had been viciously beaten and almost died fifty years before."

"God spared him that day with a purpose. More than any other person in his time, John Lewis's lifelong battle for justice truly mattered. Rest in peace, my friend."
