Rosa Parks to lie in repose at Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History

As I write this post, the body of Rosa Parks is being flown back to Detroit to the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History ^[1], where it will remain through Wednesday.

Persons interested in paying their final respects to the civil rights pioneer will have a chance to do just that at the museum starting tonight at 9 pm.

Parks’ body will lie in repose at the Midtown Cultural Center attraction through 5 am on Wednesday.

Her body will then be transported by horse-drawn carriage to Greater Grace Temple on West Seven Mile Road in Detroit where funeral services will be held. Rosa Parks will be buried at Woodlawn Cemetary in Detroit.
