Alabama Governor Kay Ivey”Our country has lost one of its most beloved Civil Rights leaders. I join my fellow Alabamians and the nation in mourning the death of Rep. John Lewis. He dedicated his life to serving his community and advocating for others. We’ll forever remember his heroism and his enduring legacy.”

Stacey Abrams, Democratic activist and founder of Fair Fight, a voting rights group in Lewis’ home state of Georgia “Our conscience, he was a griot of this modern age, one who saw its hatred but fought ever towards the light... And never once did he begrudge sharing its beauty. I loved him & will miss him.”“John Lewis was an icon who fought with every ounce of his being to advance the cause of civil rights for all Americans. I’m devastated for his family, friends, staff - and all those whose lives he touched.
