BGuthrie Photos: DC -- U.S. Capitol -- State tribute for John Lewis

DC -- U.S. Capitol -- State tribute for John Lewis:

Bruce Guthrie Photos Home Page: [Click here] to go to Bruce Guthrie Photos home page.

Description of Pictures: Due to Covid-19, this state tribute was on the steps of the Capitol and you weren't allowed into the building itself, nor could you get anywhere close to the casket itself. I was expecting horrible lines but it went fairly quickly.

Recognize anyone? If you recognize specific folks (or other stuff) and I haven't labeled them, please identify them for the world. Click the little pencil icon

underneath the file name (just above the picture). Spammers need not apply.

Copyrights: All pictures were taken by amateur photographer Bruce Guthrie (me!) who retains copyright on them. Free for non-commercial use with attribution. See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks including AI scrapers can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested. Descriptive text, if any, is from a mixture of sources, quite frequently from signs at the location or from official web sites; copyrights, if any, are retained by their original owners.

Spiders: The system has identified your IP as being a spider. I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, a number of options like merges are being blocked for you. Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm excited for your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me. If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. LEWIS_200728_003.JPG: Due to Covid-19, the barriers were 6 feet apart and every other lane was left open (with the yellow dots painted on the street). So you walked up one length and then came back two over.
2. LEWIS_200728_040.JPG: Face covering required
3. LEWIS_200728_058.JPG: Red Cross folks were there in case people collapsed in the heat.
4. LEWIS_200728_169.JPG: The C-Span (?) guy.
5. LEWIS_200728_194.JPG: Joan Trumpauer Mulholland came. Her t-shirt has her arrest photo and says "This is my government issued I.D."
6. LEWIS_200728_477.JPG: Honor John Lewis Pass Voting Rights
7. LEWIS_200728_487.JPG: John Lewis for Nobel Peace Prize now more than ever Sign and spread at change.org
8. LEWIS_200728_522.JPG: The woman from the Library of Congress was thrilled to see Joan and introduce her to her kids.
9. LEWIS_200728_658.JPG: Congressman John Lewis lay in state outside of the US Capitol on July 27 and 28, 2020. Given the heat and Covid-19 which kept a lot of people way for their own safety, the lines moved quickly. The man was universally respected. Trump cultists said that Lewis was getting praise from both sides whereas liberals didn't praise Reagan and Scalia much when they passed. Realistically, though, Lewis tried to move the country forward while the others tried to push it back. Also note that Obama in 2016 had US flags at half-staff for Scalia for 8 days. Trump in 2018 had flags at half-staff for John McCain for 7 days although the child president denounced the war hero classily saying "I like people who weren't captured." John Lewis? One day.
10. LEWIS_200728_744.JPG: One woman collapsed in the heat while I was there.
11. LEWIS_200728_811.JPG: Jan Kaliba from Czech Radio interviewed me afterward.
