John Lewis, Lying in State, Is Honored as Part of a ‘Pantheon of Patriots’

A cross-section of influential lawmakers paid respects to the civil rights icon before his body was to be moved outside so the public could honor him.

Ad copy

On July 27, 2006, President Bush reauthorized the Voting Rights Act, making him the fourth president to extend temporary enforcement provisions (and the second to authorize a 25-year extension). As my dear friend, Congressman John Lewis, lies in state today, we remember his lasting legacy, his sacrifices and his impact on this nation. May we continue to make good trouble in his memory, as we work to make justice real for all Americans. #RestInPeaceJohnLewis
