John Lewis was mourned, revered and celebrated as an American hero on Thursday at Atlanta's Ebenezer Baptist Church.
Three former presidents joined in the eulogies after nearly a week of mourning that took him from his birthplace in Alabama to the nations capital of Washington to his final resting place in his home of Atlanta.
He always believed in preaching the Gospel in word and in deed, insisting that hate and fear had to be answered with love and hope, former President George W. Bush said.
Former President Bill Clinton and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi both spoke and former President Barack Obama was also expected to later address the congregation.
Pelosi recalled how Lewis' body was lying in state at the U.S. Capitol earlier this week, and a double rainbow appeared.
There was this double rainbow over the casket," she said. He was telling us, I'm home in heaven, I'm home in heaven.' We always knew he worked on the side of angels, and now he is with them.
Outside Ebenezer, hundreds gathered to watch the service on a large screen outside the church. Some sang the gospel song We Shall Overcome.

3 Presidents????? 2 duly elected and 1 with no birth certificate, false social security number and questionable credentials.
Ok, why wasn’t Trump there, or even Mike Pence, who served with John Lewis in Congress?
Is he buried YET?
Sheesh
ENOUGH
We weren’t trying to score cheap political points. We were trying to keep Republican voters from voting for a rotten, nasty treasonous SOB.
John Lewis boycotted George W. Bushs inauguration
Bully for them.
So, if anyone of them get coronavirus like Herman Cain did, will they blame the funeral... or....????
Because packed together and seating-wise, there’s no discernible difference.
He’s gonna break James Brown’s record for number of days above ground after death.
Where was Jimmah Carter to call America racist while bashing Israel?
What we have just seen at that funeralizing ceremony is our ruling class if they ever seize power.
LOL. I was thinking the same thing.
In a way, Lewis and many other black ‘leaders’, are traitors to the black cause.
They sold their souls.
Lewis should have been smart enough to know that, the people that held ‘his people’ back, were the democrat party. The democrat party has always pretended to care about black, while looking for ways to lynch them or terminate them before they are born.
Jim Crow laws and the KKK and George Wallace, are all part of the party that Lewis was supposed to be fighting. Yet, he went with that same party because of all the promises they made to take care of blacks. FACT is that, blacks are still in the reservation, with very little hope of improving their lives. Lewis has seen what’s happened to ‘his people’ and is blind to the fact that, it is democrats who have held them back throughout history. Trump actually is the first president who improved their lives, and Lewis and Obama and Pelosi and Schumer, want to make sure that blacks don’t notice who it is that made things better for them. Obama actually made things worse for them, but, it’s not about improving the lives of blacks and other minorities; it’s about democrats using blacks as ‘useful idiots’ in order to move towards socialism/communism and total control of the country, economy and the law and people themselves.
I’m just glad they got him in the ground....wall to wall coverage for him....screwed up my TV watching!!!
Is he buried yet ?
Not yet, garbage trucks run on Friday mornings in his area.
Well of course........they were all Demonrats!! Yes children, I know what I’m saying......;)
I’m hoping President Trump will order flags flown at half staff for Herman Cain. Democrats heads would explode.
Ok, why wasnt Trump there, or even Mike Pence, who served with John Lewis in Congress?
Pence was away and the President is doing President things.......besides, Lewis wasn’t at his swearing in. I don’t blame him......that funeral was probably as sickening as that 3 ring circus called a hearing for AG Barr.....sheesh
Mourning = Political Rally
Im no Christian theologian but as far as I can tell he was an enemy of the teachings of Jesus, who upheld the totality of the Torah, and every precept in it, including the absolute prohibition against abortion (shedding innocent blood) and of sexual perversion (punishable by death. (See Matt. Ch 5.) in fact the greatest tragedy in History was the abandonment of Torah Observance by the fledgling reform movement started by the Nazarene.
He just had a problem with little things in the Old Testament like bearing false witness. Guess he didn't like those Joooze too much.
i care about losing Herman Cain.
I will care when its Clarence Thomas, Walter Williams, or Thomas Sowell, or any other great black conservative.
