Rosa Parks may become the "Rosa Parks of Women Lying in Honor at the Capitol Rotunda."
Congress is considering the idea. Ms Parks, who's refusal to give up a seat on a Montgomery bus to a white man in 1955 launched the civil rights movement, died this week at 92.
The Senate approved the resolution Thursday. The House takes it up today. She would be the first woman to lie in honor in the Capitol. (Austin American Statesman)
