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.

He had strength, courage, and heart enough for many lifetimes...

7. I wish I could express myself

like that. All I could say - and I didn't even know I was saying it until I heard it coming out of my mouth - was "Oh no. No. No no no no no."

8. It does.. Dan Rather is so right!

Such a beautiful, beautiful statement from Dan Rather. Made me cry.

What a moral giant we have lost.

When he announced he had pancreatic cancer, I started praying and I've prayed for him every day since. It seemed so hard to lose Elijah Cummings and it was unbearable to also know we were likely to lose John Lewis, while we are in the throes of a national emergency like this with Trump.

Thank you, John Lewis, for a lifetime of courage, integrity, and of lifting us all up.

17. We will miss his wisdom and insights

He left our country a better place....continuing King's fight to bend the arc of history toward justice.

Millions are now in the streets demanding justice and confronting our nation's historic truths. These people, mostly young, will continue John Lewis' work until the dream, articulated on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in 1963, is realized.
