Horn Mourns the Loss of Congressman John Lewis Washington, July 18, 2020 WASHINGTON, D.C. Congressman John Lewis (GA-5), the civil rights icon who fought for racial justice in the Jim Crow south and who went on to a long and celebrated career in Congress, died on Friday night at the age of 80. Congresswoman Kendra Horn (OK-5) releases the following statement: Congressman John Lewis was an American hero who spent his life fighting for marginalized people and to secure justice and equal rights for all. He stood up fearlessly to oppression and fought tirelessly to build a democracy where all voices are heard. We will remember him always. I am absolutely heartbroken at the loss of this amazing man, whose goodness, strength, compassion, and determination to challenge injustice made the world a better place for all of us.
