2/x One of the original Freedom Riders, John was a young man at the dawn of the Civil Rights movement & he survived a brutal beating on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma. At age 23, he was a keynote speaker at the March on Washington, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

3/x To say he was an icon, to say he was a hero, understates it. He had a quiet grace, a passion for justice & an indomitable courage that helped transform this Nation. I am blessed & humbled to have known John & to have heard his deep wisdom firsthand.

4/x Heidi & I are lifting up in prayer his family, his loved ones & all of America as we mourn the loss of a good and great man. His legacy will endure on, as we continue to strive for Justice for All.
