capitol. when the motorcade comes in, it'll come in off constitution avenue and then come from north to south, to the middle of the building. you'll probably see some of the military honor guard massing right there by those steps. that is where they will carry up the casket into capitol rotunda. they will have the ceremony there, starting at about 1:30, 1:35 p.m. both the house and senate will lay wreaths there, and then the one thing that will happen later this afternoon, they are going to bring that casket back outside. the problem was that, with the pandemic going on, they can't have people filing through the capitol rotunda. under normal circumstances, that would be about 2,000 persons per hour. they thought they could get it down to 200 persons, but even the u.s. capitol attending physician, i'm told, is uncomfortable with having some of the people outside. they didn't want to do that. after they do that, bring that casket outside, people will be able to file past outdoors here, practicin

and he's there in the capitol plaza and will be lying in state there in the capitol and will be honored by colleagues of his and future generations of members of congress. gary, i wonder for you having captured that moment of him, essentially passing the torch, you know? coming so far as part of this struggle for equality, for black americans, and yet, in a way saying good-bye because there's a leg of this race that he obviously will not be running. you know? that is for a future generation. what do you want americans to take away from that photo? >> i think the photo speaks to his character. and as many have said he was persistent but he also -- he practiced what he preached. he was a man that stood by his word. he was a man that didn't give up. in the face of all kinds of adversity, with being beaten within inches of his life, he still got back up and continued the fight. and i think what we can learn from that is that there is no progress if we are afraid, if we are fearful of what may happen to us. we have to continue to go forward. we have to continue to fight. we have -- because w

capitol.s where the late congressman is going to lie in state until wednesday. there is a small ceremony of sorts planned this afternoon, kelly. what more do we know about that? >> it is interesting, craig, if i may make a comment about the african-american museum stop as the motorcade inches closer to the capitol here. when you talk about john lewis and his ability to exert patience and passion, he first talked about a museum to honor the legacy and history of african americans, but he first came to congress back in the '80s and he introduced that measure every new congress, so every two years, up until the point when george w. bush was in office, someone that john lewis had a tense relationship with at times, he did not attend the inauguration for george w. bush, but george w. bush became an ally in that effort and signed it into law and then it was in 2016 where the museum was finally opened. so when you talk about strategic patience over the life of a career, that's something that john lew

capitol and also the goal of this legislation. before we begin debating this piece of legislation, my friend, mr. butterfield, and i had a discussion, a discussion about the 13th amendment. and i invite all members of this institution to come to my district, to come to the abraham lincoln presidential museum and library, where i can show you an original copy of the 13th amendment. ofo, one of the first copies the emancipation proclamation. this institution is not just an extended classroom. where lincoln lived, where lincoln is honored, the 13th district of illinois that i am truly blessed to represent, is also a living classroom of the good things in our nation's history. have to remember that the national statuary hall collection was created in 1864 to commemorate states and their contributions to this country. and many statues being discussed today were donated by states to the collection nearly 100 years ago. and as my colleagues earlier have said, many states are already working to remove them. and while i support their remov

capitol rotunda. leaders and the congressional black caucus will take part and joe biden and his wife jill will pay their respects and there's no word yet on whether president trump plans to visit. on the way today the motorcade carrying congressman lewis will pass and pause at some of this city's iconic sites, sites that hold special meaning for congressman leader, the martin luther king jr. memorial, the lincoln memorial where lewis spoke at the march on washington. he was the last living speaker from that seminal event, the african-american museum and lewis was behind the completion of that magnificent idea, the supreme court and the new black lives matter mural on the street near lafayette park near the white house. that is where lewis made his final public appearance. it is a flitting final path here in washington for congressman lewis who helped shape the landscape of this city and its history over more than 30 years. cnn's esmalvo is here on capitol hill to start us off on this somber day. >> r

speaking of the capitol, let us turn there for a moment.epublican congressman buddy carter, a member of the delegation from georgia. congressman, thank you so much for your time this morning. i know that you spent a fair amount of time with congressman lewis there on the hill. over the last, the last couple of decades and talked about walking to the house floor with him for votes. tell us about those walks. what those conversations were like. what those moments meant to you. >> well, as you can imagine, it was quite an honor for me. i mean, here i was walking with someone who was part of history, and every opportunity i had to walk with him i would do that, and i would hang on to every word that he said, and, you know, i used to joke with him, because as you can imagine, when we were walking outside towards the capitol people want to get their picture taken. do you think they want their picture with you or with me? he would always laugh at that, but it was truly just an honor. listen, in our lives there are people and places that you rememb

the other office buildings and other places in the capitol complex, the whole capitol hill complex. so it is something that you would have thought as a matter of courtesy or just safety that the republicans would have agreed to before, and some did, but not all. and now they must. and what is brilliant of concern to me, because we think of capitol hill as us. it is about the staff and the support staff that make it all run. and now you're seeing messages from staff of members stating the concern they have about how their offices have been treating the issue of the coronavirus. >> -- being here today and the soundness of dr. manahan's guidance. >> well we're separated from each other. i'm not coming anywhere near of you. >> you say it is not just members, it is staff and other people. >> yeah. >> but because members are the ones that tend to get on planes and fly back to districts and then come back, wouldn't it be -- of you, both chambers, to reverse the early decision where the president offered to send rapid testing here so members could be tested. >> it is not up to the president

the whole capitol hill complex. something that you would have thought as a matter of courtesy or just safety that the republicans would have agreed to before. and some did. but not all. and now they must. and what's really of concern to me, because we think of capitol hill as us, it's about the staff. and the support staff. that make it all run. and now you're seeing messages from staff of members stating the concern they have about how their offices have been treating the issue of the coronavirus. reporter: being here today and even dr. monaghan's guidance, i know you have remote voting? speaker pelosi: we're separated from each other, i'm not come neering any of you. reporter: because members are the ones who get on planes and fly back to district, fly back to states and then come bag, wouldn't it be be good to reverse the earlier decision when the president offered to send rapid testing here so members can be testing. speaker pelosi: it's not up to the or up to me it's up to the capitol physician. i have asked hi

capitol where he was the first black lawmaker to lie in state in the capitol rotunda. according to congressional historians. we should note that representative elijah cummings was the first black lawmakers to lie in state in the capitol in statuary hall. let's bring in the congressional correspondent nancy cordes. what can you tell us. >> reporter: it is with a heavy heart anthony, that lawmakers bid farewell for the final time to their beloved colleague here john lewis on the east front of the capitol. his family members are now walking from the hearse to the buses that will take them to andrews air force base. behind the casket of the late john lewis. they will accompany him to atlanta and a very moving sight just beyond that on the capitol steps about 50, 60 house members gathered here to watch the solemn ceremony. some waved and some took pictures this was a man that was very dear to them. he served in congress for 33 years and he was a personal hero to many, many of them before he came to congress or they did. a very emotional sendoff, really for thousands of peop

for a day and a half here on the capitol rotunda. members of congress sat on the house steps and watched, a few dozen of them, from the distance, from the plaza itself were a few dozen of lewis' close family members and friends and democrats and republicans standing side by side, watching their colleague of more than three decades leave the capitol for the last time. the ceremony was brief, largely silent here, not present were the crowds of people that we had seen over the last day and a half who had come to pay their respects to congressman lewis in a 2020 twist on the normal process of lying in state, coming to salute him from the plaza here on the east front of the capitol as his body sat at the top of the steps. one other piece i can report overnight, former staffers of the congressman, and a few of his current staffers up to the end here, sat vigil with the body in the capitol rotunda, one last opportunity for them to quietly say good-bye to their boss as the rest of the country does so, an absolute fixture here. the conscience

on both sides of the capitol. we knew that he always worked on the side of the angels and now we know that he is with them. john had deep faith. believing that every person has a spark of divinity, making them worthy of respect, and he had faith in the charity of others, which is what gave him so much hope. >> later this afternoon, former vice president and presumptive democratic presidential nominee, joe biden, will pay his respects to congressman lewis. a short time later, his casket will be moved to the east front lobby so that americans, the members of the public, can always pay tribute to the civil rights legend and american hero. john lewis' final trip to the capitol took him past washington landmarks that held so much significance for him. the lincoln memorial, where he was the youngest person to speak at the march on washington in 1963. black lives matter plaza, near the white house now, where he made his final public appearance at the beginning of june. and the national museum of african-american history

capitol and also the goal of this legislation. before we begin debating this piece of legislation, my friend, mr. butterfield, and i had a discussion, a discussion about the 13th amendment. and i invite all members of this institution to come to my district, to come to the abraham lincoln presidential museum and library, where i can show you an original copy of the 13th amendment. ofo, one of the first copies the emancipation proclamation. this institution is not just an extended classroom. where lincoln lived, where lincoln is honored, the 13th district of illinois that i am truly blessed to represent, is also a living classroom of the good things in our nation's history. have to remember that the national statuary hall collection was created in 1864 to commemorate states and their contributions to this country. and many statues being discussed today were donated by states to the collection nearly 100 years ago. and as my colleagues earlier have said, many states are already working to remove them. and while i support their remov

lying in state there in the capitol rotunda.them, all members of the cbc, the congressional black caucus, professor, in terms of how he should be remembered in 30 seconds, i know that's terribly unfair, but how should we remember congressman lewis? >> you know, echoing heather mcghee earlier, he's a founding father. he helps us reach for an america that is just. it should be understood as a saint. a saint is not a perfect person. it's someone who exemplifies the virtues that define the good life as we imagine. but he's a child of the south. of our tradition. we have to remember him as the best of who we are. yeah. risked everything. and hopefully as an example for us to risk everything right now. so we need to lift him up. >> heather, word came down a short time ago. when asked at the white house, whether he would be paying his respects to john lewis as he lies in state here for the next day and a half, president trump said he would not. surprised? dispoi disappointed or both? >> to be honest, i don't think john lewis would have

capitol building to be lowered to half-staff. however, we have yet to officially hear from the president on the passing of this civil rights icon, john lewis. a 17-term u.s. congressman. >>> our correspondents are standing by with reaction to lewis' death. let's get started with cnn's suzanne malveaux in rockville, maryland. this is an incredible loss for the country. >> it really is fred. when you think about it, so many people of all walks of life. you have former presidents, you have world leaders, you have people who worked with john lewis and just complete strangers, people who didn't know him but are so inspired by his lifetime of achievement and of courage and his fight for justice. and it was just the past couple of weeks, fred, it was congressman lewis who called forward and made those phone calls to people who meant a lot to him. those members of the congressional black caucus, the staffers, those he spent a lifetime with and even just new young people to continue to inspire them. and at the same time he was saying his

nancy, you're on capitol hill. i know-- and in just in reading up on lewis, since his passing, it stood out to me because of the moment we're in, how he had been a champion of underscoring health disparities, particularly among brown and black americans. it was one of the things he championed, needed to be paid for attention to. at a moment when we are seeing that drawn into stark relief with how this pandemic is ravaging our country. he also worked on the african american museum here in washington. but what as a lawmaker do you see as his legacy that he was able to enshrine? >> reporter: well, i think he fought for rights for all kinds of people. as you mentioned, he fought very hard for health care, for the right of every american to have health insurance. he fought for gay rights. he fought for immigration reform. and just picking up on what bob was just talking about, he had this courage and conviction that enabled him to sort of lend moral clarity to any debate that he was in. as hank johnson, his congressiona
