Body of John Lewis makes final Selma bridge crossing
Guardian, 27 Jul 2020
The late US congressman John Lewis has crossed Selma's Edmund Pettus bridge for the final time as remembrances continue for the civil rights icon. A crowd began gathering near the bridge that became a landmark in the fight for racial justice when Lewis and other civil rights marchers were beaten there 55 years ago on “Bloody Sunday," a key event in the fight for voting rights for African Americans.
