Change of plan tonight – having been watching coverage of the funeral of John Lewis it seems very appropriate to share this music instead of what I had planned. The words of this song are a good motto for anyone.
Perhaps those who are not in the US will not be so familiar with John Lewis. His story cannot be told in a few words. If you want a flavour of “what he was about” can I suggest that you read the Op-Ed that he wrote shortly before his death to be published today – the day of his funeral. You can read it here.
If you want to know more – there is plenty to find online – but to know a little about what he meant to the people of America the eulogy delivered by Barack Obama brilliantly sums it up.
