The Washington Post description of Rosa Parks lying in state in the U.S. Capitol is touching. As the report says it reflects her life: dignified, understated.
To me it points up the reality of life behind the headlines. Here was a huge diverse crowd united in expressing their admiration and thanks for this courageous act from someone who did not court publicity, but touched their lives. And here was the mighty President Bush standing in front of the coffin to pay his respects. She towers above him. Rest in Peace Rosa.
