Rosa Parks was laid to rest this evening. Her funeral services were held earlier today.
Such an amazing program this afternoon, from what I understand.
People were waiting since 6 pm yesterday to get inside the church. It started somewhere between 11:30 and noon and lasted until around 6pm today. It lasted so long, because there were SO many dignataries there, a lot who were supposed to be there and a lot who were not *on the program* (Mrs. Clinton, Barack Obama, etc).
The procession started with a horse drawn hearse, but in the interest of time, they switched to one of those old fashioned Cadillac hearses.
There is a parade of people following the caravan of limos and cars in the processional, as well as people lining the streets all the way to the cemetary (which is a straight shot down 7 Mile Rd.)
It's been broadcast on tv all day. It's very amazing to watch. I should be out there, but that's a take-the-day-off-work type of deal that I should have planned ahead for. There are school classes that were out there as a class project.
I'll regret not being out there to witness such history.
Why the hell is ANTM a recap show tonight??
CDs I bought today:


Eh, I pretty much don't feel like typing much else. I'll holla...
