Leaders of the U.S.House of Representatives & the head of the United States Postal Service today unveiled the new stamp honoring late civil rights leader, Rep. John R. Lewis. The stamp design features a 2013 photograph of the Georgia Democrat taken by Marco Grob for Time magazine.

"Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.”

—Rep. John Lewis (1940-2020)

@Deglassco @blackmastodon @BlackMastodon His presence is sorely missed, without him there has been a void, we need more elected officials to get into some #GoodTrouble.

Deglassco,

@NorCal_Lynne I agree wholeheartedly.

killick,

@NorCal_Lynne @Deglassco @blackmastodon @BlackMastodon We got to see his legacy when bigots went after black gun control advocates in the TN legislature. That was some #GoodTrouble

Deglassco,

@killick it sure was!

Thumptastic,

@Deglassco @blackmastodon @BlackMastodon Awesome!

pmroman,

@Deglassco @blackmastodon @BlackMastodon A very nice gentleman, I had fond memories of a few conversations I had with him. An example, a real one!

Deglassco,

@pmroman John Lewis was an outstanding example of a human being—what we should all strive to be.

    Deglassco,

    @KatM we were lucky to have him. More politicians should follow his lead of sacrifice and service instead of self service.

    His presence is sorely missed! A dignified tribute to a big-hearted gentleman. 💖 #GoodTrouble

    Now put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill!!

    Good opportunity to remind us all of his poignant affecting last words, how any of us would like to be remembered:
