John Lewis, civil rights giant, crosses infamous Selma bridge one final time
Solemn crowds watched as Lewis, who died July 17 at the age of 80, was borne by caisson over the Edmund Pettus Bridge.

A bridge which, sadly, is named for a traitor and KKK leader. One day, if there is any justice, it will be renamed in honor of this great man.

I think something is already underway regarding renaming the bridge.
