There will also be a procession through Washington, where members of the public can pay their respects., masks will be required to enter the line and social distancing will also be enforced.
Lewis' family is also requesting that members of the public do not travel from across the country to Washington. Instead, virtual tributes may be posted online using the hashtags #BelovedCommunity or #HumanDignity, the release said. Pelosi told MSNBC's"The ReidOut" that the Lewis family will provide additional funeral arrangements late Thursday beyond lying in state.Lewis dedicated his life to the fight for justice and equality. First, as a leader in the Civil Rights movement in his 20s and then by serving Georgia in Congress for more than 30 years. He was the last surviving speaker from the 1963 March on Washington.
So long to idea of a dignified burial. Buckle up, another McCain 3-ring circus incoming!
This great man deserves a great send-off. ❤️🇺🇲

wsfa12news Why, Are they still dragging around John McCain or did they finally bury him, you don’t need 20 funerals
A man of The Honerable John Lewis's character should be celebrated on a level of sainthood that this society cannot comprehend
How you dems helping Portland?
Is it so difficult, even on Twitter, to be civil in responding to the decision for Rep Lewis to lie in state?
A rightful honor for a Gentle Man who lived his life seeking Civil Rights for all People.
At least they agreed on one thing this week
KennethHowardC3 He needs 10 funerals and a gold coffin at a minimum - the bar has been set.
REMOVE HER!!
As it should be. Rest In Power.
Pandering. Ever after death
If anyone should, it's him.
Good ,respectful way to remember this man who fought hard against racist Democrat policies. Not sure why he became one, but whatevs...
you can gather for this but shut down your small biz, don’t go to church, and for gods sake stay away from ppl you love.
