RIP John Lewis

When your children and their children think about "what you did and what you said", they will be forever proud.

No idea who this is but RIP just the same.

Really? You don’t know who John Lewis is? Really? As an American you should be embarrassed. A true hero of the civil rights era of the 60’s and one of the longest serving members of YOUR house of representatives.

I’m a Canadian and I know who John Lewis was and what he represented. Damn, some of you need to study your own damn history. Sorry, but this ignorance just pisses me off.

Amen, brother. The sad part is that it's not even really history!

Wasn't being dismissive or disrespectful. Really not familiar with the gentleman and the name didn't ring a bell.
I would assume from the lack of replies to this thread I may not be the only one who didn't know the man.

So sorry I pissed you all off, don't know how I'll get over it.

Figures. Ignorance is bliss.

Ya know what this forum needs? A "hall of fame" for those posts that make us laugh out loud, or otherwise elicit an inordinate response from the reader.

This was one of those.
Timing's everything.

I am not pissed off, it just makes me feel sad and depressed.
