Lewis’ casket departed Montgomery, Alabama, this morning for the nation’s capitol. Upon arrival, a motorcade will travel throughout Washington, DC, on its way from Joint Base Andrews to the US Capitol, passing numerous locations including Black Lives Matter Plaza, the site of Lewis’ last public appearance.

I want to see young people in America feel the spirit of the 1960s and find a way to get in the way. To find a way to get in trouble. Good trouble, necessary trouble.
John Lewis (civil rights leader)

Here’s a look at the schedule.

Services and ceremonies to honor the life of Rep. John Lewis, who died last week at age 80, continue today in Washington, DC. The civil rights icon served as a member of Congress for more than 30 years.

The congressman will then lie in state in the US Capitol Rotunda and be honored by his former colleagues at an invitation-only arrival ceremony at 1:30 p.m. ET. Remarks are expected from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, as well as wreath layings from both houses of Congress.

As a precaution due to the coronavirus pandemic, a public viewing will then take place outdoors in the evening, with Lewis’ body lying in state at the top of the East Front Steps of the Capitol.

It was 50 years ago when a young John Lewis crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama.

Here’s a look at the schedule:

11:30 a.m. ET: Motorcade to the Capitol begins, pausing at DC landmarks along the way, including Martin Luther King Memorial, Lincoln Memorial and Black Lives Matter Plaza
1:30 p.m. ET: A special ceremony will be held before he lies in state at the US Capitol’s Rotunda
6 p.m. until 10 p.m. ET: The public can view Lewis’ casket as it lies in state. The family kindly is asking attendees to wear face and mouth coverings.
