C.T. Vivian, who was born in Missouri and earned his civil rights stripes in places like Illinois, Tennessee and Alabama, will lie in state Wednesday at the Georgia State Capitol Building.
Vivian, the Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient who moved to Atlanta in the 1970s, died last Friday at his home at the age of 95.
Following the three-hour viewing, a horse-drawn open carriage will take Vivian’s casket from the Capitol to the crypt of one his closest allies, Martin Luther King Jr.
