     America’s democracy stands at the cusp of being destroyed by a narcissistic President, who embodies traits of some of the world’s most monstrous men, Wallace, Hitler, and General R. Lee. History reveals that before Lee left the Union to lead the confederate army, his combative and harsh treatment of his slaves caused them to revolt. He and his rebels killed thousands of Union soldiers.

     So far, early polls imply that obnoxious President Trump – the darling of born-again whites – may suffer a historic defeat. (Although I’m unreligious, I pray ardently for that outcome.)

     There are icons and giants, and then there are great men. Congressman John Lewis was a great Black man by anyone’s standard, and he worked until he took his last breath. As a Black man in America, he never stopped working for racial justice, equality, and non-violence. His mentor was  civil rights Icon Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and his entire life was dedicated to the teaching of nonviolence and “making good trouble.”

     Lewis and Vivian were righteous and good, but they are dead.
