CSPAN Rep. John Lewis Funeral Service July 12, 2024
President bush good morning. Distinguished guests, johnmiles, lewis family and friends, i thank you for inviting us to be here today. Johns story began on a tiny farm in troy, alabama, a place so small he said you could barely find it on the map. He talked about the chickens. I did a little research. Every morning he would rise before the sun to tend to the flock of chickens. He loved those chickens.
