The John Lewis Bridge

[malaise]

That is all

[Bongo Prophet]

1. This hurts. But we look forward together. There is a glimmer of light, always.

2. He dedicated his life to civil rights

and another generation is showing us that they are more than ready to continue the struggle.

[Bongo Prophet]

4. He did indeed. And I am grateful for the allies that arise. As much as I am grateful to you.

6. I'm an ant in this struggle

[Bongo Prophet]

9. We both are. And that is so very ok.

WE are not loyal to a "queen", but loyal to an ideal. What humans do, at our best. All those proteins to our brains, I guess. The emergent properties of awareness. We progress together.

11. Plus one for ...

... such grace and beautiful thinking.

3. From f#$@ng pettis bridge to John Lewis Bridge--hell yes!

[mobeau69]

5. That bridge is an old, outdated structure not worthy of his name.

Let it stand and continue to serve as a symbol of the hatred and bigotry that John Lewis and other great civil rights leaders fought and conquered.

7. Now that's thinking out of the box

8. that damn well better happen!!!

10. A special soul

Taking abuse on behalf of other takes a special kind of humility. A sense of humility that emerges when we realize service to others is more important than service to ourself.

That’s “the content of his character”.

12. The Medal of Freedom. . .
