CNN Politics | John Lewis’ final crossing provides a new chapter in the history of the Edmund Pettus Bridge
Washington, DC
(CNN) – The late US Rep. John Robert Lewis made his final journey on
Sunday across the famous bridge in Selma, Alabama, where the towering civil rights figure helped
lead a march for voting rights in 1965 that came to be a key part of his
legacy.
Following a short ceremony outside of Brown Chapel AME Church on Sunday, Lewis’ body traveled on a
horse-drawn caisson through several blocks of downtown Selma to the Edmund Pettus Bridge, where Lewis’ flag-draped casket crossed. It
was on that bridge that a 25-year-old Lewis and other marchers were met by
heavily armed state and local police who attacked them with clubs, fracturing Lewis’ skull.

CNN Business | Home sales jumped nearly 21% in June
After
several months of plummeting sales caused by the coronavirus pandemic, the housing market came back to life in June, according to the National
Association of Realtors.
Sales of previously owned homes jumped a record 20.7% from May, the largest
month-over-month increase since NAR began tracking in 1968.
“Record low mortgage rates are no doubt helping to bring buyers to the
market,” said Lawrence Yun, NAR’s chief economist. “But the inventory
levels are shrinking, which could create a bottleneck for sales gains going
forward.” —more—

CNN Opinion | This is the best way to honor John Lewis’ legacy
(CNN) – There is a bridge in Selma, Alabama, where the 25-year-old John Lewis nearly died
during the 1965 “Bloody Sunday” march. This bridge, named after
Edmund Pettus — a Confederate general and leader of the Alabama Ku Klux Klan
— spans the reality of America’s racist foundations and the dream of a just country.
The bridge should have been renamed long ago. Pettus was a domestic terrorist
who fought in a traitor army for the right to claim ownership of human beings.
Children aren’t brought to Edmund Pettus Bridge to learn about him; families now make the
pilgrimage to teach the next generation that men like him can and did lose.
That while these men wielded hideous and violent power, there were very brave
people who linked arms and faced that violence together in their demand for
justice. That heroes like Lewis put on his best $5 suit, along with his trench
coat and backpack and fought for Black voting rights. —more—

Before the race started the Red Bull Racing Honda team had to do an emergency repair on Max Verstappen’s car that received damage after Verstappen left the track and hit a wall during warm up laps damaging his front left suspension. The Red Bull pit crew did their magic with only seconds to spare before the start of the race, their efforts paid off in a big way with Verstappen finishing 2nd, in front of Mercedes-AMG’s Valtteri Bottas who finished 3rd after starting on the front row. As the race started, Bottas had an indicator light go off on his dashboard that distracted and he did not get off to a good start. Sebastian Vettel for Ferrari finished in the points while his teammate Charles Leclerc did not. Due to track conditions, at the start of the race none of the drivers started on slicks, 18 of the drivers were on Intermediates (green) and 2 drivers started on Full Wets (blue). By Lap 4 the track conditions had changed enough that all drivers that had not already done so came in for an early tire change to put on slicks.
