The nation said its final goodbye to the late John Lewis on Thursday, at a funeral service held at Ebeneezer Baptist Church in Atlanta. A host of national speakers, including three former U.S. presidents, paid tribute to Lewis' life and legacy. Former President Barack Obama delivered the eulogy.

We speak with Massachusetts residents Shirley Small-Rougeau and her son Vincent Rougeau, whose lives were intertwined with Lewis and the fight for social justice.
