Michael Bearden Instagram – As we continue what has been a long and arduous fight for justice and equality, I’ve heard some in this modern movement pronounce,”we are not our parents, grandparents, ancestors, etc…!” ⠀ ⠀ I understand the sentiment. Everyone is “fed up” with ALL of the never ending injustices we suffer at the hands of racism, and all other offspring of fear! ⠀ ⠀ It is my fervent hope that the newer generation will be able to solve this centuries old crisis of division and inhumanity! ⠀ ⠀ However, before ANY movement can progress, it is imperative to understand and acknowledge that, we are able to stand up today, because people like John Lewis gave us shoulders on which to stand yesterday! ⠀ ⠀ R.I.P. to a true AMERICAN hero. Congressman Lewis represented everything good and decent in humanity. We MUST continue the legacy! M~ #johnlewis 🕊🕊🕊✊🏾
