As part of a six-day celebration of the life and legacy of civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis, the late congressman crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, for a final time.

Lewis will lie in state at the top of the east front steps of the U.S. Capitol for the public viewing, and the public will file past on the east plaza. The public viewing take place from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Monday and from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Tuesday. Masks are required and social distancing will be enforced.

Civil Rights icon Congressman John Lewis pauses during a memorial ceremony on Capitol Hill on Oct. 24, 2019, in Washington. Lewis will be laid to rest on Thursday at South View Cemetery in Atlanta following a private funeral at Atlanta's historic Ebenezer Baptist Church, which the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. once led. A military honor guard will accompany Lewis' body during all the events.

Just don’t try to have a funeral for your own loved ones. Dems say that’s too dangerous! 🙄

sick of so much coverage of this person...one week is TOO MUCH....bury him and get over it

tributes to a traitor, keep memorializing u commies!

They're going to milk this crap for all they could get out of it...

Garbage!!!!!!

🤣

He was considered an enemy like so many black leaders and then when he dies now he is called a hero. This pattern is played out bullshit.

Where's this show on to next?

why hasn't anyone changed the name on that bridge

George Floyd got a bigger send off than John Lewis.

The privileged are permitted to have funerals.
