A legendary Civil Rights Icon turned prominent progressive Democrat has died after a rumor had been widely circulated earlier in the week, falsely, that he had passed.

“Whatever policies John Lewis supported later in life, and I opposed most of them, as a young man he was absolutely fearless and was brutally beaten as a freedom rider. DITTO for Ms. Mumpower.

As a teenager, she rode on the freedom rider bus and was imprisoned in Parchment Prison, a very dangerous place.

John Kennedy tried to stop the freedom ride bus trips south. He sent a staff member to tell the young people please don’t do the rides, someone will get killed.

The response of John Lewis, Joan Mumpower, Diane Nash and the others was “we know someone will be killed, that’s why we wrote out our wills,” Robinson wrote.

Whatever policies John Lewis supported later in life, and I opposed most of them, as a young man he was absolutely…
