Over the next few days, we’ll see and hear nice words from a lot of people in power. They’ll remind us who John Lewis was. What he stood for. What he fought for. What he bled for. They’ll tell us that we lost a giant. We know this. Our hurt and sorrow is evidence enough.

To apply a modern day poll tax on returning citizens. This is not how you remember a giant like John Lewis. Your words are empty where your actions have long since assigned you to the wrong side of history, justice, and the building of a more perfect union.

I’ll miss John Lewis, C.T. Vivian, and other civil rights heroes who have taken their rest. I’m forever gratitude for the path they paved. It is my hope that this country, and those in power, show the same gratitude through action. Not empty words.
