3:03Now PlayingTributes have been paid to one of the leading figures in the American civil rights movement, John Lewis, who has died at the age of 80.
The congressman was one of the organisers of the 1963 March on Washington, where Martin Luther King made his "I have a dream speech".
Barack Obama, America’s first black President, spoke of the “enormous impact” John Lewis had made on the civil rights struggle. Mr Obama said he had told John Lewis that he could only have become president because of the past sacrifices the civil rights campaigner had made.
Kate Silverton presents BBC News reporting from Rajini Vaidyanathan.
