  1. Sad news tonight as media outlets are reporting the death of Congressman John Lewis, making this film even more timely. R.I.P Congressman, who marched with MLK.

    • I was really hoping that Rep. Lewis would live past the November election to witness the end of Trump.

      He was truly an extraordinary man, courageous, compassionate, and genuinely kind. His exemplary life will always inspire us to do better.

      • Right Liza, too bad he had cancer and died before Nov. 3rd, as his strong voice was needed in D.C. Amazing that he marched with MLK and lived to 80 to remind us what that was like back in the 1960’s. R.I.P. Congressman Lewis.

        • At least there was moral leadership back then, it was not as rare as it is today and mostly because of the Civil Rights Movement.

          MLK’s assassination and the escalation in Vietnam brought that era to a premature end, unfortunately.

          Vietnam is where we lost our way. I don’t think very many Americans understand that.
