(Mark Makela | The New York Times) "When historians pick up their pens to write the story of the 21st century, let them say that it was your generation who laid down the heavy burdens of hate at last and that peace finally triumphed over violence, aggression and war. So I say to you, walk with the wind, brothers and sisters, and let the spirit of peace and the power of everlasting love be your guide." Those were the final words of an essay written by Rep. John Lewis, which he wrote to be published upon the day of his funeral. Lewis in a 2013 portrait.
