One result John Lewis achieved as an activist was the Fair Housing Act of 1968, targeting racist landlords. The one Trump was sued under. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/820255947956383744 …

By the way, John Lewis represents a majority-black district where 88% of adults have high school diplomas and 41% have college degrees.*******

16. OH yes! The Honorable John Lewis has a way to bring

out the worst when he says what they don't want to hear.

Tell it John! Best Not to come for John Lewis unless he sends for you.

Did Donald Trump Just Come for John Lewis During MLK Weekend?

As if he’s physically addicted to controversy (or attention), President-elect Donald Trump attacked civil rights icon John Lewis during the Martin Luther King Day weekend. And the fallout has exploded all over social media.

The brouhaha started yesterday when Rep. Lewis, who actually organized with Dr. King and was brutally beaten by police in Selma, Ala., in 1965 while marching for black humanity, stated during an NBC News interview that he does not see Trump’s presidency as “a legitimate president” and will not be attending his inauguration.

MOre..

President-elect Donald Trump began Martin Luther King Jr. Day weekend by attacking Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) on Twitter, accusing the civil rights icon of being “all talk, talk, talk — no action or results. Sad!”

Trump’s attack on Lewis was met with immediate outrage, as his fellow lawmakers quickly pointed to Lewis’ record as a leader of the civil rights movement and criticized Trump for ignorance of just how much Lewis has
done — both in speech and action — in service of progress in America.

30. .....

31. ...

Yeah, baby!

Mahalo, Tanuki.. I think that tweet and pic says just about everything on the subject.

It really shines the light on how inordinately dumb trump is.

Thank you for the perfect pic of Harry Belafonte and Martin Luther King! What were they cracking up about?

[Tanuki]

32. The caption simply said "Backstage at Madison Square Garden"

but I wish I was in on the joke!

[oasis]

2. MLK, Roy Wilkins, and union president, Walter Reuther among other

notables. Lewis was respected by many influential public figures of the day.

Great pic Cha. Thanks for taking us down memory lane.

Edit to add the name of civil rights leader, A. Philip Randolph seated in the center.

[Cha]

6. Mahalo for the names of the other distinguished gentlemen

oasis!

Yes, when I saw that pic I knew I had to post it.. our most honorable John Lewis, Civil Rights Icon.

Now I love him even more for telling drumpf isn't legitimate. Why pussyfoot around that?

Mahalo

[bigtree]

4. cool pic, Cha!

[Cha]

10. Isn't it though.. one for the ages. Thank you for the vid of John Lewis, bigtree!

"On trumped up charges"!

"One man one vote" "Where is the party that will make unnecessary to March on Washington?"

"We are tired of being beaten up by policeman" Not much has changed.. only now there are more killings than beatings.. it seem to me

drumpf blew it taking on John Lewis.. it only gets People to take action

"We will March with the spirit of love and with the spirit of dignity that we have shown here today"

[bigtree]

11. interesting story

...Joy Reid was discussing how John Lewis wanted to give a more reactionary speech; blaming Kennedy for inaction, etc, and MLK (and other organizers) convinced the young man to tone it down a bit; Lewis aligned more with the 'direct action' wing of the movement.

Joy described him as the 'black lives matter' activist of his time.

[Cha]

12. That is interesting.. John Lewis certainly is all about Action.

Thank you!

5. Exactly.

He's just one of many notable historic figures in that pic. Other than Martin Luther King, I doubt Trump knows any of them.

On second thought, I doubt he'd know MLK via a pic either. That shit.just doesn't matter to him.

7. Trump is a racist. Every comment he made about Lewis was racist and ignorant.

I know I am stating the obvious to anyone with a modicum of decency, but it needs to be said each time Trump opens his mouth (or exercises his thumbs) and spouts racist bullshit.

[dalton99a]

8. It's willful ignorance and malice

There is zero redeeming value in him.

[Solly Mack]

9. Truly, it is. He's had all manner of advantages and still turned out to be garbage.

I know wealth is no safeguard from being an idiot, but this man is unwilling to learn better.

23. Trump will turn out to be a $hitstain on history;

Lewis will be remembered for his fight for social justice and civil rights forever.
