Rest in Power and Rest in Peace. Thank you John for your memoirs and work, I admire you greatly.
Below is a previous review from my library days.

I first learned about John Lewis on TV and I was browsing goodreads and saw his familiar name and sure enough it was him. What an amazing historical figure, fought for civil rights, was arrested several times, and became a congressman along with other achievements. His memoir was interesting, I was totally engrossed reading his history, and l felt Inspired that I can fight and make a difference. In times like these especially you have to be kind to those around you, lend a helping hand (which can start in your community), and recognize your privilege. I like to think I make a difference by ordering and making sure I read diverse fiction. It's a small step but I think making sure there is representation for many people is important. I can not really put into words how grateful and the respect I have for John Lewis. I highly recommend this powerful memoir with charming and amazing ink illustrations.
