He was my Representative for awhile, since I moved three times during my twelve years in Atlanta. One time I thanked him for introducing the PTF bill in Congress over and over again…and instead of letting that go to his head he immediately praised Marian Franz, who died in 2006. Can you envision this…John Lewis and Marian Franz are dancing with the angels. And they have left us here to march forward, to continue the work to end war and conscription of so much tax money for war!… Peace, Carol

Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.”

I just checked my local library for “Walking with the Wind” by John Lewis. I see that all 8 copies are checked out and there is a waiting list for when the copies are returned. There is now another person on the waiting list.
