On this Inauguration Day — January 20, 2021 — John Lewis continues his good trouble. John, you said you kept the faith when struggling in the past for progress. That faith lives on. There is a consortium of scientific and medical organizations that are working together to address health equity and social inclusion. We are inspired by you, and refer to you in a consensus statement on needed progress. Thank you, sir, for all you did and for your legacy that continues to powerfully influence.

I am so grateful to this page. I am always so happy when I get a notification of a new post. Yesterday was MLK and while watching those historical news clips I caught glimpses of the young John Lewis. Then this morning I was notified of a new post on this page validating that there are so many of us that will keep his legacy and goals moving forward.

On MLK day, I am remembering you Honorable John Lewis for all that you brought to my life. Your values were impeccable and I pray that I instill those in my children always and my future grandchildren. You were an amazing Earth Angel. Now that you and so many others to include my parents are dancing with the Angels, we love, honor and miss you so.
