Rep. John Lewis, the civil rights leader and long-serving Georgia Democrat who died July 17, will be memorialized with a final service on Thursday, July 30.

It will be broadcast live. The service is the last portion of a six-day program honoring his life and work, and the last ceremony before his internment in Atlanta's South-View Cemetery.

Previously, a military honor guard oversaw the movement of Lewis' body across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, where Lewis helped lead a march for voting rights in 1965, and his body laid in state in the rotunda in the United States Capitol.

His final memorial, which will take place at the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta where the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. once led a congregation, begins at 11:00.
