President Obama to eulogize John Lewis and former presidents
will attend civil rights icon's funeral
Former President Barack Obama will give the eulogy at US Rep. John Lewis' funeral on Thursday and former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush will attend the service, according to sources familiar with the former presidents' plans.
The sources added that Clinton and Bush will also participate in the funeral for the late civil rights icon, which will be held Thursday morning at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta.
The service marks the last day of a six-day memorial ceremony honoring Lewis.

John Lewis offered a final message in an essay he wrote shortly before his death, and published on the day of his funeral: "Now it is your turn to let freedom ring."
