The Funeral Of John Lewis!

The honorable John Lewis funeral is today.

Today, Congress will mourn the late Rep. John Lewis (D-GA). His body will lay in the rotunda of the U.S. Capitol before he makes the last journey to Atlanta for the final session at the Ebenezer Baptist Church.

On Sunday, Lewis' body made the trip from his birthplace in Troy, Alabama to Selma. The horse drawn carriage took his body across the Edmund Pettus Bridge one last time.

Rep. Terri Sewell (D-AL) spoke on behalf of Lewis that day. You can watch the video along with the livestream of his formal congressional funeral.

The civil rights leader and activist served as a U.S. Representative from the state of Georgia. He passed away at the age of 80 from pancreatic cancer. He leaves behind a legacy of American activism.

He was known as the "social conscience" of the House of Representatives.
