Yes, books were given away, but make no mistake, something is being SOLD.

What is a civil rights “icon?”
To: Cowboy Bob
A person who once did something worthwhile and has been living on the dividends for nearly half a century. Also family members to the nth degree of people who did something worthwhile.

Yeah he’s an icon alright. He’s a black klan member and a race hustler.

The pinnacle of the virtue signaling Chain of Being.
Similar to a religious icon, no evidence of of a malicious thought or character flaw can be found in Civil Rights Icon John Lewis.

This guy's expiration date is long past.
A comic book?
He's written...correction: co-written, a damned comic book to get his message out?
Dumber than Maxine, almost as ugly.
