Bidding civil rights icon John Lewis farewell

People waiting in line to pay their final respects to Congressman John Lewis, who died on Friday at the age of 80 from pancreatic cancer, had a very long way to go before reaching the US Capitol, where Lewis’s body was lying in state.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

A fitting tribute to "the conscious of the U.S. Congress."

John Lewis was an inspiration. He was a great man who will be missed. He made our country a better place.

Nice to see COVID prevention masks on these Americans who came out during a pandemic to pay their respects. This is a photo of history happening.
