The John Lewis Funeral!

The final funeral of John Lewis is today.

The final journey for American lawmaker and civil rights activist John R. Lewis. The 80-year old lawmaker died last Friday and Americans are paying their respects to a man who bled for civil rights.

He was battling pancreatic cancer. In his final days he was interviewed by Gayle King of CBS and stood with Washington, DC's mayor Muriel Bowser at Black Lives Matter Plaza.

John Lewis was a congressman from the 5th Congressional District of Georgia. He was a member of the Democratic Party. He was a progressive lawmaker who often was called the "conscience of the House of Representatives."

Until his dying breath, he fought for civil rights, equal rights and rights for those in the LGBTQ community.

He leaves behind a family that loved and cared about him. He leaves behind a legacy of work in the Congress.

His funeral is today in Atlanta at the Ebenezer Baptist Church.

Former presidents Barack Obama, Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton will be in attendance. Former vice president and Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden will be there.

Notable celebrities and civil rights activists will be there.

His love was contagious. He left an impact on the country and the world. A man who was just a young teen who decided to take a stand against racism and segregation.

Let's make "Good Trouble" by voting this year. We have a lot stake and believe me, we're going to need everything in our power to defeat Donald J. Trump and Republicans.

Watch the funeral live.
