The Political Week in Photos

Americans paid respects to John Lewis, a civil rights legend known as “the Conscience of Congress.” Lawmakers honored the late Georgia representative at an invitation-only ceremony where he was the first Black man to lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda, a rare designation reserved for U.S. statesmen and military leaders.

These were among the topics of this week’s most compelling political images.
