“As a young man marching for equality in Selma, Alabama, John answered brutal violence with courageous hope,” said former President George W. Bush. “And throughout his career as a civil rights leader and public servant, he worked to make our country a more perfect union.”
Former President Barack Obama, America’s first Black president, recalled being sworn in for his first term: “I hugged him on the inauguration stand before I was sworn in and told him I was only there because of the sacrifices he made.”
Lewis died Friday, several months after the Georgia Democrat announced that he had been diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer.
Lewis, 80, often recalled his upbringing in the segregated South, including how he was denied a library card because the library was for “whites only.” He was determined to destroy segregation, joining with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. as a founder of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee to help plan the 1963 March on Washington.

Using a cutting-edge experimental therapy, doctors at a Bergen County hospital on Saturday injected cells from a placenta into a critically ill coronavirus patient, in the hope they will bolster his immune system and save his life.
It was believed to be the first time the procedure was performed in the United States to combat COVID-19, said Holy Name Medical Center in Teaneck.
The cells, drawn from the human placenta, will hopefully aid the man’s immune response and could potentially also heal tissue damage to his lungs, said Drs. Ravit Barkama and Thomas Birch, who are clinical researchers at the hospital.
The otherwise relatively healthy 49-year-old man was hospitalized more than three weeks ago with shortness of breath and fever and has been on a ventilator in intensive care since March 20. His wife signed off on the emergency treatment, which was approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration on Friday, the doctors said.

‘The Stakes Are Far Higher Than They’ve Ever Been’: Trump’s Niece Pens Tell-All

After a good deal of legal wrangling, an incendiary book by President Trump’s niece is beginning to come to light. A slew of excerpts surfaced publicly Tuesday, ahead of the expected release of Mary Trump’s book next week.
“Honest work was never demanded of him, and no matter how badly he failed, he was rewarded in ways that are almost unfathomable. He continues to be protected from his own disasters in the White House,” Mary Trump writes in Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man.
“But now the stakes are far higher than they’ve ever been before; they are literally life and death. Unlike any previous time in his life, Donald’s failings cannot be hidden or ignored because they threaten us all.”
NPR obtained a copy of the book, which Simon & Schuster bumped up from its original July 28 release date “due to high demand and extraordinary interest,” according to the publisher. Release is now set for July 14.
The book offers a scathing portrait of the president — one that nearly did not survive the courts.

The dugong is a medium-sized marine mammal. It is one of four living species of the order Sirenia, which also includes three species of manatees. It is the only living representative of the once-diverse family Dugongidae; its closest modern relative, Steller’s sea cow, was hunted to extinction in the 18th century.

Why Hamilton is as frustrating as it is brilliant — and impossible to pin down

The smash-hit Broadway musical Hamilton arrives in movie form on Disney+ this weekend, making it accessible to more people than ever before. And with this glossy composite recording of the show comes a longstanding public debate: Is Hamilton a brilliant, visionary reframing of the narrative of America, a revisionist apologetic paying undue worship to the Founding Fathers, or an unholy mix of both?
The timing of the film adaptation’s arrival helps to renew this argument. Disney+ is releasing Hamilton just in time for the Fourth of July, appropriate for the musical’s trappings of lavish patriotism. It also drops in concert with the most intense US political protests in recent memory — protests whose spirit the musical, by centering actors of color in a race bent narrative about revolution, also arguably upholds. It’s an uncomfortable duality, a tension that the beloved hip-hop musical has courted since day one.
