I was blessed to hear John Lewis tell his preaching to chickens story four times in person. I have several copies of his books signed by him. I still remember Congressman Lewis walking into a seminar at the 2016 national convention next to Kareem. The height difference was amusing. It was a great seminar and I really admire Kareem

I still remember when Congressman Al Green introduced me to Congressman Lewis as a voting rights attorney and I got to shake his hand. BTW, I do corporate law but volunteer on voter protection efforts. My kids still laugh at this.

I have several copies of two of the volumes of his graphic novel signed by John Lewis.
