I have marched alongside Martin Luther king jr and campaigned for social justice right up until his death almost 2 weeks ago now a vigil honoring the life and legacy of john lewis has been held in Montgomery Alabama his body is lying in state at the Capitol Building where the public can pay their respects Martin Luther king jr his daughter bernice was among those to speak it is a vigil the city is the final leg of the selma to montgomery Voting Rights trail and his casket retraced that journey earlier it was driven across the Edmund Pettus bridge in selma on the way to the Memorial Service its 55 years since lewis led hundreds of black demonstrators across that very same bridge and was beaten unconscious state police violently broke up the march Christopher Wilson is with the National Museum of American History he says john lewiss passion for the Civil Rights Movement is something that will live on. John lewis leaves such a such an amazing legacy weve had him many times here at the Smithsonian Institution to look back on his history and the history of the movement i think that the most important thing to me in his legacy and in looking at that moment today is that he was leading that march in 1965 but he would have always thought about it as not just him in front but all of the people who were working in places like selma on a local level for the National Organizations like Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee that he led and helped found at the beginning. Were important but really it was the local people who always he was amplifying and i think that that is still important to remember today john lewis was in his last days was able to stand out in the streets and in washington and join the protesters one of the things that we have to remember about mr lewis and other activists particularly out of that nashville tradition is though we think about the. Personal journey that they would go through and making personal decisions like not to give up their seat on a bus or Something Like that and doing that sort of thing also they were really and in really changing the nation and being really active and so i think thats what were seeing today typifies what john lewis was all about.
