Taking it personally: John Lewis

As a child who grew up in segregated schools surrounded by segregated restaurants and "White Only" water fountains; who watched Bloody Sunday and the many other violent reactions to civil rights advances on live television, who lived in Memphis when King was assassinated, and later moved to Georgia to watch the ongoing struggles for civil rights marshaled by our many great icons here, and to be privileged to cast my votes for them, I am taking the loss of John Lewis quite personally. I think all Americans should.
