Michigan National Guard stands near casket carrying civil rights icon Rosa Parks in Detroit
A Michigan National Guard pall bearer stands near the flag-draped casket containing the body of civil rights icon Rosa Parks as a funeral director (bottom) secures it in the carriage after her funeral ceremony in Detroit, Michigan November 2, 2005. Parks' refusal to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama bus to a white man 50 years ago helped break racial segregation in America. REUTERS/Rebecca Cook
