The Speaker of the House honoured John on Instagram, writing, "@RepJohnLewis was a titan of the civil rights movement whose goodness, faith and bravery transformed our nation. Every day of his life was dedicated to bringing freedom and justice to all. His memory moves us all to, in the face of injustice, make 'good trouble, necessary trouble.' May it be a comfort to his son John-Miles & his entire family that so many mourn their loss at this sad time."
Nancy shared another Instagram tribute, adding, "@repjohnlewis: hero, champion & challenge to conscience of the nation. Your visit with the newest voices for justice at the Black Lives Matter mural with @mayor_bowser was wonderful & iconic. Thank you for that final public statement in furtherance of a more perfect union."
