The humble power of Mr Lewis will never be forgotten. He would greet me with his “ how are you my brother” or would thank me with a “thank you my brother” and I swear my heart, like the Grinches heart would grow two sizes that day.

We need leaders like John Lewis now as they did during the civil rights movement. I do miss him.
