For a second day, Ms. Parks was honored as mourners passed by her remains lying in repose in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda. Among those in attendance were government officials, dignitaries, civil rights leaders, and members of the general public. She was the 29th person, and first woman, to be given such an honor.
