U.S. Rep. John Lewis will be in Charlotte on Thursday to support Democrat Hillary Clinton and lead a march to the polls.

Lewis, a Georgia Democrat, withstood violence and arrest during the civil rights marches in Alabama in the mid-1960s. He also served as chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.

The Charlotte event is at 5 p.m. Marchers will begin at MLK Park (2600 Ravencroft Drive, Charlotte) and proceed to Bette Rae Thomas Recreation Center (2921 Tuckaseegee Rd, Charlotte) to vote.

That man can't march over.

In this southern white man's opinion he is the greatest living American.

When he crosses over that last bridge we all face he of all people will hear the words 'well done my son'.

Tearing up as I type this.
