BBC: The body of civil rights icon Rosa Parks is set to lie in honour in the US Capitol Rotunda - the first time that a woman has received the tribute. The US Senate voted on Thursday to allow the move and Congress is set to approve the decision on Friday.The text of the Senate resolution said that the honour should allow US citizens "to pay their last respects to this great American."
The House must concur. I hope they do; this would be a fitting, moving and wonderful tribute.
