Bill Clinton honored John Lewis at an Atlanta memorial service: 'Always keeping his eyes on the prize, always believing none of us will be free until all of us are equal. I just loved him. I always will. And I'm so grateful that he stayed true to form'

Three former presidents and the most powerful woman in Congress will say their goodbyes to civil rights icon John Lewis at his funeral service at the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta on Thursday.

Bush acknowledged his political differences with Lewis but framed them as an inevitable effect of democracy. Lewis, 80, died July 17. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last December. Lewis represented the Atlanta area in Congress from 1987 until his death. Other speakers included the Rev. Bernice King, CEO of the King Center, who led a prayer, activist James Lawson, former Atlanta Mayor Bill Campbell and Lewis’ deputy chief of staff Jamila Thompson.
