Dear John Lewis,
Your experience floored me. You touched the veil of death, but your faith and hope lead you through it. You watched your friends die off (Malcolm X and James Lee) , but still continued to move past your adversity. Your head was literally beaten to a pulp yet you “overcame.” On the day of August 6th, 1965 the work put in had finally come with a positive result, and i am extremely thankful for that. Now in 2019 we are approaching a closing of this decade. A decade of the new millennium. You have shaped this for us and I must thank you for it.
With Love,
Victoria Hagood
