On Sunday in #Selma, I spoke on behalf of Elliott Smith, the great-nephew of Amelia Boynton, to remind the nation that Selma was not a day but a declaration: Our deadline is victory! #Selma57 #PoorPeoplesCampaign
Selma was not just about voting rights either. Rev. Dr. King linked the fight for voting rights and the fight for economic justice. We canā€™t talk about one without talking about the other.
When 140 million Americans were either poor or one emergency away from poverty before COVID, when we have less voting rights today than in 1965, & weā€™ve seen nearly 1 million deaths from COVID, many needlessly, we shouldnā€™t need anything else to tell us we need a movement!

The courageous demand for full citizenship, the ugly violent denial, the passive bystanders. As it was then, so it is now. We draw strength from the resilience & determination of the #Selma marchers to whom this entire country owes a great debt.

We're so pleased to contribute to the education fund for #JohnLewis's young friend #TybreFaw. Rep Lewis asked Tybre to be part of his memorial service today. Find the story of their friendship in my linked tweet. gofundme.com/f/education-fuā€¦
#TybreFaw was 10 when he asked his grandmothers to drive him 7 hrs to #Selma where he hoped to meet #JohnLewis. He had a sign: "Thank you #RepLewis. You have shown me how to have courage--raw courage." Lewis asked him to walk beside him across the Bridge. cnn.com/2020/07/19/polā€¦
#TybreFaw spent time w/ #JohnLewis on the House floor. Now 12, he plans to run for Congress himself. Nathan Morris of Boyz II Men saw CNN's video of Tybre & Lewis & followed up to see if Tybre has an education fund. He didn't. He does now! See top tweet if you'd like to pitch in.

Rev. Dr. Joseph Lowery has passed from life to life. A giant of the Civil Rights Movement, Rev. Dr. Lowery helped form the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, which led the mass movement work under the leadership of Rev. Dr. King. 1/ #ripjosephlowery cnn.com/2020/03/27/us/ā€¦
I had the incredible privilege to meet and speak w/ Rev. Dr. Lowery on set of the movie ā€œSelmaā€ several years ago. He was at once towering and kind. America would not be America without the work and witness of Rev. Dr. Lowery. 2/ #RIP #JosephLowery #Selma #CivilRightsMovement
Thank you, sir. We honor you on this day. May you rest in peace knowing your hands, your feet, your body and soul helped change the world. 3/3 #RIPJosephLowery #JosephLowery #CivilRightsMovement

On this anniversary of #BloodySunday we thank God for civil rights leaders like @repjohnlewis.
And we reject the racism from the @BernieSanders camp who refer to black voters as low info voters! Because weā€™re in the south, we have NEVER had the luxury of being low info! #Selma
And we will #NeverForget
#BernieBros are still pummeling black people for their vote! We donā€™t owe our vote to a cult leader with supporters who donā€™t respect the man who fought for our right to vote with his very blood!
#retweet
#NeverForget
#BernieBros have no respect for our civil rights heroes and will try to lecture us on civil rights! These are our heroesā¬‡ļø, not privileged white cult leaders who didnā€™t even work or vote until they were 40!
