The words of John Lewis from the 1963 March on Washington still ring true today, decades later. We must stand up against injustice to propel our country forward. #JohnLewisGoodTrouble pic.twitter.com/S4sQwFKFIf

Rep. John Lewis' first appearance in the Almanac, for the 1988 edition. They noted he "comes to Congress already as an important maker of American history." So glad this country had him. #GoodTrouble pic.twitter.com/O2dMj0kdg6

We were beaten, we were tear-gassed. I thought I was going to die on this bridge. But somehow and some way, God almighty helped me here. We cannot give up now. We cannot give in. We must keep the faith, keep our eyes on the prize. pic.twitter.com/eOw9uMYAAL

Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. #goodtrouble

Hope to see Pres. @BarackObama in Selma again someday soon to retrace these steps in honor of his great friend and hero, to celebrate the renaming of that stretch of hallowed ground we know so well as #TheJohnLewisBridge.

RIP to a humble giant. Thank you, @repjohnlewis. 🙏🏾🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/snnejcZTli

Both John Lewis and C.T. Vivian passed away on the same day.

Both spent their lives fighting to make America a better place. Their lives, and loss, will be felt for generations. pic.twitter.com/0KTkcXH1I1

The news hits deep. And to the core. John Lewis dead. Can it really be? He had strength, courage, and heart enough for many lifetimes. We were young once. So many memories. So much distance traveled. So much further to go. Farewell my friend. We shall overcome someday.

JOHN ROBERT LEWIS.

Irreplaceable and beloved.

Raised sharecropping in Troy, AL, he fought for the people his whole life with a huge and loving heart.

He put it all on the line over and over again to better this world for all humanity.

Congressman Lewis, we love you. pic.twitter.com/4iOasnQAMy

Here’s John Lewis torching the Supreme Court for gutting the Voting Rights Act of 1965:

“Those justices were never beaten or jailed for trying to register to vote. They have no friends who gave their lives for the right to vote. I want to say to them, Come and walk in my shoes.”

Rep. Lewis was the last surviving speaker at the March On Washington. We’re losing our legends. ☹️

Whether they change the name of the Edmund Pettus Bridge in honor of John Lewis or not, call it the John Lewis Bridge anyway.
