PHOTOS: John Lewis Celebration of Life in Alabama

John Lewis Remembered In this July 21, 2020, photo, a sign outside the Troy Public Library in Troy, Ala., honors the late U.S. Rep. John Lewis. As a child in the 1940s and 1950s Lewis said he longed to go to the Pike County library but wasn't allowed because it was for whites only. Lewis applied for a library card knowing he would be denied in what he considered his first act of resistance to segregation. (AP Photo/Kimberly Chandler) (Kimberly Chandler)
