Thousands of mourners lined the streets of Detroit yesterday to bid a final farewell to civil rights activist Rosa Parks, who died last wMs Parks' burial in a mausoleum at Detroit's Woodlawn cemetery marks the end of a nine-day, three-city tour since her death. Her casket left Detroit last Saturday for Montgomery, Alabama, and then went on to Washington DC on Sunday, where she was the first woman to lie in honour at the Capitol Rotunda, where she was visited by President George Bush, along with thousands of otherseek aged 92.
About 4,000 people were expected to attend the funeral in Detroit, the city where she lived for the last 48 years of her life. The line for the 2,000 available public seats at the Greater Grace Temple, where the funeral took place, stretched over two blocks, with some waiting overnight in a 40°F (4°C) chill.
"This time will never happen again," Moses Fisher, who had travelled the 530 miles from Nashville to be there, told the Associated Press. "There will never be another Rosa Parks."
Ms Parks left Montgomery, Alabama, where her refusal to give up her seat to a white passenger had sparked a boycott of buses that was a defining moment in the struggle for civil rights in 1957, following a litany of racial harassment and death threats. |

I agree there will never be another like her with the courage to say enough is enough. She didn't set out to change the world but she did in a way that will and should never be forgotten! RIP Leader of Freedom Fighter of injustice Lady of Pride and Honor. |
