I'm sorry he is dead but I think Louisville will be better off without him..
Glad he is gone!!! He was nothing but an agitator who caused more divisiveness between blacks and whites in this community that will take years to repair. I hope they buried his bullhorn with himneither will be missed.
On behalf of the white community in Louisville kentucky. "Free at last, Free at Last.. Thank God Almighty We are free at last. (from this loud mouthed man that for so long has caused a huge headache for the white business owners and general white community for so long.
They could'nt get him in the ground fast enough for me.... good bye and farewell....
I remember Rev Coleman when he sat outside of the Pendennis Club being served on a round table with white linen tablecloth and it was funny. My prayers are with the Coleman family.
im very sorry for your loss he was a good man god bless you
WE LOVED YOU AND YOU WILL BE MISSED. THANKS FOR ALL THAT YOU DID FOR US IN LOUISVILE AND THE WORLD.GOD BLESS AND R I P
Rest In Peace Louis Coleman, There will never ever be another you! Thanks for your tireless efforts in the Louisville community, and Thanks Mrs Coleman and family for sharing your love one with us. He will be surely missed
My condolences to the family of Mr. Coleman. In the past I have had a negative experience with him and one of his groups of activist. However, in due time everything worked out.
You'll be missed very much. There will never be any another like you.
My family will miss Rev more than anyone could know. He was more than just my pastor but he was a second father to me and my wife. It's a shame a community doesn't realize what a hero they have in their mist until they're gone. We Love you Pastor Coleman.
Alex, Terrie and the whole Brown family.
