I love that they played the video of him dancing to Happy as he was taken out of the church by the honor guard.

 

Rest in power John Lewis, I admire you so much.

@SoX You couldn't see the video because they were showing the honor guard carrying his casket. But you could hear the song.

 

If you haven't seen the video I'm sure it must be on You Tube.

And, all who watched and enjoyed this journey.

 

Loved it all...but, having worked in several Congressional offices , I was most impressed with the young woman who spoke who was his Deputy Chief of Staff.

 

She spoke of a wonderful, inspirational place to work and a man who did all in his power to make it that way.

 

From personal experience, I can tell you that it is not always that way.  

 

It was a wonderful triubte all around.
