    John Lewis has crossed over the final bridge. The last of the "Big Six" civil rights leaders is gone. If courage had a name, it was his, and he leaves us at a time when the stakes of all he struggled for could not be higher...pic.twitter.com/07jeQdtrTK

        ...For John Lewis, voting was sacramental, and he shed his blood for us to exercise this most fundamental of rights. Forevermore, generations, starting with this one, will honor him by casting their ballots, a secular communion meant to strengthen our democracy...

        ...His roar as 'the conscience of the Congress' will echo down through history. Few who ever lived have done more to inspire change. "His truth goes marching on."

        John Lewis was a hero of mine. A personal hero. I am not African American, I am an American. To me he stood tall and he stood up for what our country can be. He is gone, but my hope is that millions more will take his place, "to complete the Revolution that began in 1776." RIP.
