D’Angelo Taylor can still remember the day that he met the late Congressman John Lewis.

Taylor says he was in the second grade when the civil rights icon visited his school and left a lasting impression on him.

“From what I knew about him, he was a great person,” said Taylor.  “He was just a good soul.”
