Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson debuts Rep. John Lewis tribute wall

The world’s busiest airport debuted an exhibit wall in tribute to civil rights icon U.S. Rep. John Lewis in the domestic terminal Monday. The $250,000 installation along a walkway between the domestic terminal atrium and the arrivals hall includes artifacts, videos and photos from the life of Lewis, a Freedom Rider who spoke at the 1963 March on Washington, was beaten by police during the 1965 march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, and has been a Georgia congressman for more than 30 years.
