One of the many terrible things about the Trumpandemic Presented and Amplified By Brian Kemp is that we just can't have thousands of people indoors at once -- masks or no masks.
Rename the bridge in his memory.
Name a segment of the US Capitol in his memory. .
Most of all, vote Trump and his klan out of power everywhere. That's the best tribute we can pay.
Yeah, forgot about that. Then how about the former Turner Field?
 
Still no word from Trump. But he is playing golf. And taking great steps to stop the virus by sending federal agents to arrest people in Portland.

But Remember, children: Libruhls are killing Amurrica.

Flag at the White House is at half-staff. Remember it took him a few days to order that after McCain died. Progress!
 
But, at half-mast just for the rest of the day. Feels so empty. But, typical Trump.
I think that's the law. Members of Congress are recognized with the flag at half-staff for the day on which they die, which was Friday in this case, and the day thereafter.
 
I owe so much of my life to Rep. Lewis and those who sacrificed in the 60’s; because of his fight for civil rights I am able to:

Legally marry my wife;
be legally protected against racial discrimination;
Be free of “separate but equal” nonsense;
Be free from actual and de facto segregation; and
Be free to legally own my property.

Many people still don’t understand what life would be like without the civil rights movement for so many of us citizens.
 
The greatest tribute to Lewis would be a 50-state Voting Rights Act establishing baseline standards for registering, voting and tallying of votes.
