Late civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis will be memorialized at the U.S. Capitol Rotunda next week.
Lewis, who died over the weekend after a battle with pancreatic cancer, will be placed on the East Front Steps of the rotunda for public viewing, which will be allowed on Monday from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and on Tuesday from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Thursday. Attendees are instructed to wear masks in preparation for what will be an unprecedented ceremony for the Georgia Democrat.
