One year ago today, an ailing John Lewis spoke at the 55th march across the bridge in Selma

One year ago today, was honored to join fellow voting rights advocates in 55th march across bridge in Selma. An ailing John Lewis suddenly appeared at top of bridge, urged us to fight on & essentially said goodbye. Will treasure this forever. #Selma56
