Plan to honor Rep. John Lewis released

Six days of ceremonies will honor the late Representative John Lewis before he is laid to rest.

Lewis' family says the tributes will start Saturday in his native Alabama with a service at Troy University.

His body will lie in repose in Selma before a procession brings it across Edmund Pettus Bridge on Sunday.

It will then lie at the Alabama state Capitol.

A motorcade will bring Lewis's body through Washington, DC to lie at the Capitol.

The events will end in Georgia the state Lewis represented in Congress.

After a service and tribute at the Capitol in Atlanta, he'll be laid to rest at Southview Cemetery on Thursday.

In light of coronavirus, mourners are invited to observe the tributes by virtual means.
