Members of the House of Representatives on July 20 stood for a moment of silence in remembrance of their longtime colleague, Georgia Rep. and civil rights leader John Lewis. He was the last surviving member of the "Big Six" in the civil rights movement, whose ranks included Martin Luther King Jr. and organized the 1963 March on Washington. Lewis died on July 17, 2020 at the age of 80 after a battle with pancreatic cancer.
