John Lewis crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge for the last time on Sunday.⁠ ⁠ The body of the late Georgia congressman and civil rights icon will lie in state in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda this week. Lewis will first be honored at an invitation-only ceremony Monday, the lawmakers said. The public will be allowed to pay their respects “in a socially-distant manner” later that day and on Tuesday. Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell said mourners would be required to wear masks. ⁠ ⁠ As Politico noted, Lewis, a Democrat, will be the second Black lawmaker to lie in state in the U.S. Capitol. Former Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), who died last year, was the first.⁠ ⁠ Only about three dozen people, including 12 presidents and four Unknown Soldiers, have been honored in this way. ⁠ ⁠ As of this morning, over 500,000 people had signed a petition to rename Edmund Pettus Bridge for John Lewis. Lewis led hundreds of activists across the bridge ― named for a Confederate general and Ku Klux Klan leader ― during a civil rights march on March 7, 1965. Police charged at the marchers, beating them with clubs and firing tear gas at them in an incident that became known as “Bloody Sunday.”⁠ ⁠ “It’s far past time to rename the Edmund Pettus Bridge after Rep. John Lewis, a civil rights icon that nearly gave his life on that bridge,” Michael Starr Hopkins, a political strategist who created the project, said in a statement.⁠ ⁠ Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) echoed the call to rename the bridge in an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press.”⁠ ⁠ “Take his name off that bridge and replace it with a good man — John Lewis, the personification of the goodness of America — rather than to honor someone who disrespected individual freedoms," Clyburn said.⁠ ⁠ Read more at our link in bio. 📷 AP Photo/John Bazemore」7月27日 23時55分
