Saturday Night #BlackLivesMatter Protest Party! (Part 9)

This is how I am feeling right now.

 In memory of The Honorable John Lewis.  RIP.  We the people shall carry on your work with our eyes on the prize.

"Keep believing. Keep marching. Keep building. Keep raising your voice. Every generation has the opportunity to remake the world.” - Barack Obama, July 2018

    His legacy needs to live on! The anecdote of him asking Obama for an autograph and Barack returning it recognizing his huge influence always gets me.
    Bob is right. Vote!

    Also, that song, Anne Marie!

    Yes stand up and vote! Do this in memory of John Lewis, but do this because our democracy is in peril. RIP John Lewis. We've got this and we won't let you down. Sing it Ray Charles! Trump is toast...his days are numbered!

    Nobody, and I mean NOBODY does this song better than Ray Charles! I'm coming to envy those who sleep in death in these times.

    Now what does the 'Demon sperm' lady say? Or is she working up some ju-ju spell to get you-know-who re-elected?

    Thanks for posting this well-deserved tribute, Anne Marie. Mr. Lewis was a special man... the kind created by extraordinary circumstances. He rose to the challenge of the times and brought his own brand of activism to the front. An example of the very best America has to offer...

    did y'all see this morning that the dump said "I have done more for the Black community than john lewis ever did?"

    and somewhere john lewis is laughing his ass off at that thought.

    11/3/20 is coming. VOTE!
