Revolutionary in Death

Rosa Parks

A petite seamstress from Alabama who refused to give her bus seat to a white man inspired powerful social and political change in life as well as in death. Seminal civil rights protester Rosa Parks was the first woman ever to lie in honor in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda -- a distinction usually reserved for high government officials. She died on Oct. 24 at the age of 92 in her Detroit, Michigan, home. Her act of rebellion in 1955 spurred Martin Luther King Jr. to organize a bus boycott, galvanizing the civil rights movement.
