*Michelle Obama posted the sweetest tribute video of John Lewis following news of his death over the weekend.

On Saturday, the former FLOTUS shared footage of Lewis dancing to Pharrell Williams’ “Happy” during a campaign event in Georgia two years ago. “I’m awed by the way that, in eight decades filled with such weight and consequence, he also managed to keep things simple and light,” Obama wrote of Lewis on Instagram. “Even as he spent a lifetime of marching, and sitting in, and getting arrested, his feet kept on dancing.”

I’ve spent the morning reading tributes to the extraordinary life and legacy of John Lewis. And I’m awed by the way that, in eight decades filled with such weight and consequence, he also managed to keep things simple and light. For him, the pursuit of lofty goals like justice and righteousness was about just doing what’s right. His epic life story rightly fills the pages of biographies and college textbooks, yet he also chose to publish it as a comic book. And even as he spent a lifetime marching, and sitting in, and getting arrested, his feet kept on dancing. Congressman Lewis shows us that while the struggle and pain is all too real, fighting for each other—and paving the way toward something better for our kids and grandkids—can and should be a source of real and lasting joy. May God bless his memory. And as we keep marching, may his defiant, delighted smile urge us onward.

“Happy” was apparently Lewis’ jam. To celebrate the International Day of Happiness, established by the United Nations in 2012, the former Georgia congressman danced around his office to the track in a video that went viral in 2014.
