Pres. Obama makes me so proud to be an American......

His eloquence and steadfastness makes me yearn for the goodness of the future. His words resonate.

We cannot sit idle, we must keep moving towards that more perfect Union. Honoring John Lewis paved his way to what he was able to achieve, and will continue to do so.

I took a picture of the TV at 2:03 pm ET to mark the moment of him speaking out against voter suppression. Gets to me, he does.
