Are remembering representative john lewis.

The civil rights legend and congressman died this month at the age of 80.

As reena roy reports..

.

Lewis' body was taken to the u-s capitol today, where it is now lying in state, after a weekend of events celebrating his life and legacy.

Abc's reena roy has the latest from washington.

Intro: john lewis was known as the conscience of congress and today he made his final trip here to the nation's capital for a special honor reserved for america's most prominent leaders.

Script: the body of john lewis was led by police escort on a touching farewell tour of some of washington's most iconic landmarks.

The martin luther king memorial.

The national museum of african american history and blacks live matter plaza where he made one of his last public appearances.

A final journey 's capital..before lying in state at the capitol rotunda.

Pelosi: here in congress, john was revered and beloved on both sides of the aisle.

On both sides of the capitol.

The civil rights icon represented georgia in the house for more than 30 years.

Where today lawmakers in the lower chamber unanimously voted to rename a voting rights bill after him.

A fitting tribute for the man credited with changing history.

Mcconnell: we pray and trust that this peacemaker himself now rests in peace former vice president biden and vice president pence paying their respects as lewis lies in state..

However president trump says he will not.

The two had a contentious relationship..lewis skipped trump's inaugural and each of his state of the union addresses except this years.

In lewis' home state of alabama..red rose petals scattered on the edmund pettus bridge where he marched and bled for the right to vote on march 7th 1965 the date later became known as bloody sunday.

This past sunday he crossed that bridge one last time.

Nats- horses walking lewis returned to the bridge in selma year after year, bringing bi-partisan delegations with him.

Most notably - in 2015 with president obama, who credited lewis with helping to make his presidency possible.

Lewis wasn't just a powerful advocate for african- american rights.

He was widely admired because of his principled stand for justice for all groups, including for the rights of lgbtq americans, the parents and children of immigrants held in camps while seeking asylum, and for the many victims of gun violence in america.

Reena roy tag: lewis' body will be taken outside of the capitol tomorrow where he will lie in state and people can pay their respects while still staying safe during the coronavirus pandemic.

Many school districts are choosing to begin the school year online... becauase of the coronavirus which means a lot of homes are going to need supplies.

And that could lead to record level spending.

Mandy gaither tells us just how much.... in today's consumer watch.

--reporter pkg-as follows-- parents across the country are preparing to once again turn their dining rooms into classrooms. and that means, they're going to need to supplement the things that are normally found at school.

According to the national retail federation, this means families could spend a record amount on back-to- school shopping.

For parents with kids in kindergarten thru twelfth grade, the previous spending record was nearly 700-dollars per family.

This year, it could top that with a projected average close to 800- dollars.

And for college students, we know those textbooks and laptops aren't cheap.

Those families could be looking at an average of more than one-thousand dollars up from last year's record of around $976- dollars.

According to the survey of of over 7,000 consumers, 88- percent say the coronavirus pandemic will affect their shopping.

More than half of parents with kids in k through 12 will do their shopping online.

And more families are planning to buy electronics like computers this year.

With all this increased spending, 30-percent say comparison shopping is going to be key this year.

For consumer watch, i'm mandy gaither.

That's pretty much all i can tell you.

That's how it was.

I was pretty much fien the whole time.

That's the bottom line, but i have to take it day at a time so i don't think i'm gonna play tomorrow.
