4. John Lewis is a personal hero of mine.

I'm so proud he is there tonight to join in the celebration.

6. Did you see him interviewed earlier

He said that in the past few days he's cried so much that he thinks he's out of tears today. Whew!

8. Aw...No, i'm sorry I didn't see that.

Hopefully it will turn up on Youtube. I have been lucky enough to meet Rep. Lewis a couple times though. He is one of the most truly gentle souls i've ever come across. Shame on McLame for pretending he's big enough to lean on this great man's legacy. When he dropped Lewis's name, I hit the floor.

11. Lewis was ticked at McC for that!

He does seem like a gentle person. Wise from experience.

7. I love him! nt

12. They showed his speech on BBCAmerica, but not the actual tribute. Even so, the speech

alone really moved me. What a powerful speaker he is
