Garrett more tributes for john lewis. Michelle miller is in atlanta. All across atlanta worshipers at Church Services remembered the late congressman, one of the legendary figures of the civil rights movement. John has been our congressman for 34 years. Former u. N. Ambassador andrew young marched with lewis and dr. King. John lewis is one of the quietest, most humble leaders that has ever lived. He seemingly doesnt have any ambition but to serve. There is a moral obligation to do something. Torques say something. For many here and across america, lewis left a lasting impact. The quote of him saying lets get into some good trouble is activating a generation. Activating a generation that wants to get involved and say hey, this is wrong. Im going to stand up for it and im going to stand up for it loudly. Im going to stand up for it proudly. Former secretary of state colin powell. He spent his whole adult life fighting these issues. And going after racism. And so a man with that kind of bravery built into him is an incredible individual and he was. And i think we will always be remembering what he did for our nation. What he did for our people. Major, there say candle light vigil set here at the john lewis memorial mural but already there are calls to rename the Edmund Pettus bridge after him as well. As you remember, it was on that bridge in march of 1965 that he lead protestors across from selma to montgomery as they were fighting for their voting rights. They were met with opposition from law enforcement. And it is that moment that became known as bloody sunday. Garrett michelle, with congressman lewis passing, the question looms, what does it mean for the continuing fight for racial and social equality in america right now . Lewis was an incredible ally to the next generation, whether it was with immigration or gun control or gay rights.

He had this incredible sense of mentorship and the hopes is that there will be others who come along and fill his shoes. Garrett michelle miller, thank you so very much.

The nightly demonstrations began 53 days ago in wake of the deaths of george floyd, breonna taylor, and ahmaud arbery. We will do anything that we can to get our point across so that people understand where we are coming from and what we believe in. But after a more than a month of active protests President Trump sent in federal agents to protect buildings and personnels people are being scooped off the streets in unmarked van, rental cars, apparently. They are being denied probable cause and they are denied due process. They dont even know who is pulling them into the vans. The people arent identifying themselves.

We have dedicated all of our manufacturing facilities at the moment for the astrazeneca product. As you heard it is a billion doses, it is no small amount even for us. If the oxford vaccine trials are successful there is still serious concerns about how to distribute it. Glass vials like these produced by the germany schott ag are the safe and most effective way, while simple looking they require highly specialized machinery to make. Agencies within the department of health and Human Services are already warning of a critical shortage. We are in a situation where lots of things have to come together.

Have lost their lives fighting the deadly coronavirus. As the numbers continue to spike, a sobering reality has emerged. Latinos and latinas along with other communities of color are bearing the brunt of this pandemic. They left us alone to fight. And there are still days where we feel very alone. If there are no workers because we get all sick and its impossible to sthaen work because of that, then theres no food. What are people going to do. I want everyone to look back and know that her dad really put up a fight. And as he was fighting, he was taking care sometimes of the very people that wanted him out.

Its new look has dealers and potential buyers chomping at the bit, and because we cant run out of horse metaphor, kris van cleave mounted up for a ride. You need a bronco. The ford bronco is back. Collector Robert Parker has been waiting 24 years to see the iconic suv ride again. When i think about bronco i think about, you know, my bucket list. Things that i have always wanted to do, places ive always wanted to see. The bronco, a totally new concept in transportation. When ford introduced the 1966 bronco it was unlike anything on the road or off it. The bronco is a roadster. Its original code name goat, go over any terrain. For its 31 yearproduction run fords five generations of broncos sold 1. 1 million vehicles as the truck drove right into pop culture. Rolling through 1200 movies. It could be a very good bet that this is o. J. Smpsons vehicle. But the bronco is perhaps best known for the 1994 o. J. Simpson police chase in that white ford bronco. By 1996 americans were flocking to fourdoor suvs sending bronco to the stables for nearly a quarter century. Cnets tim stevens. Is there demand for another suv. Right now the demand is still strong and with so many suvs on the market there is really high value for personality and character in suvs and that is something lacking, the bronco does no
