Morgan Freeman read out the final words of civil rights icon Congressman John Lewis in an emotional speech Thursday. Lewis lost his battle with pancreatic cancer on July 17 at age 80, and Freeman, as requested, read his last words: a powerful essay he wrote for the New York Times, “Together, You Can Redeem The Soul Of Our Nation.” MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell played the poignant reading, which was apparently sent to the newspaper by Lewis two days before his death, on “The Last Word”.
