John Lewis held my 💙 within his glorious hands. Learned SO much from him, 4ever fighting for #Equality. When his casket was carried by horse-drawn carriage on rose strewn street & #EdmundPettusBridge, cried like a child who was left abandoned. His hope 4 a better country, ingrained within my soul.🙏🏼🇺🇸

Reminds me of "#BloodySunday"On March 7, 1965 when hundreds of marchers were attacked by state troopers and county members on the #EdmundPettusBridge in Selma.

The marchers were beaten with billy clubs and sprayed with tear gas. Some were knocked to the ground and hit with nightsticks.

John Lewis walked, bled, and lived for justice.

Five years since his passing, we honor him the only way we know how:

By refusing to stay silent and getting in more Good Trouble.

My (white) daughter Merrie (whose son-my grandson-is black) and her (hispanic) husband Victor flew to Birmingham Alabama last night and are this morning visiting the #CivilRightsMuseum.
Next up Selma, and the #EdmundPettusBridge. Really proud of them, and my family’s diversity.

#OTD in 1965, civil rights activists set out from Selma to Montgomery in a peaceful march for voting rights.

But as they crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge, they were met with brutal force—beaten and bloodied by state troopers simply for demanding the right to vote. #Selma60

Sixty years later, the struggle for voting rights continues. We must restore and expand the Voting Rights Act and continue the march toward justice. 🗳️✊🏾
