Two of the three photos he posted were not of Elijah Cummings, but were instead of John Lewis, the Congressman from Georgia who is famous for his role in the Civil Rights Movement and for marching alongside MLK Jr. The internet took notice and promptly let King T’Challa know that he needed to check his Vibranium and come again.Black Panther himself @chadwickboseman really out here not knowing the difference between the late Elijah Cummings and @repjohnlewis, that's kind of embarrassing, eh?#RIPElijah pic.twitter.com/7zbAXiUYN7

PSA: To media folks confusing the now late great Congressman Elijah Cummings (LEFT) with the very alive and well Congressman John Lewis (RIGHT)…now is not the time for you to be getting Black people confused. You will get your feelings hurt while the rest of us are mourning. pic.twitter.com/sdIAykYEjQ — Ernest Owens (@MrErnestOwens) October 17, 2019
Helpful reminder, that’s Rep Elijah Cummings on the left and Rep John Lewis on the right. Sitting with Rep Lewis today eating lunch, he couldn’t stop sniffling. His tears for his friend did not stop and this loss is felt by all of us on the hill. pic.twitter.com/8houhZNbSp — Andrew Aydin (@andrewaydin) October 17, 2019
