Ginsberg, who died last Friday from complications of metastatic pancreatic cancer, according to congressional historians, U.S. Capital will be the first woman in the state. He will also be the first Jew to be honored.
Ginsberg joins Rosa Parks, John Lewis and Abraham Lincoln, who were placed in the state or honored in the Capitol.
In the state (for government officials and military officers) lies and lies in honor (for private civilians) while someone’s remains are found in the U.S. Capital and Washington Washington D.C. Are placed in, so that the public respects them. This tribute is considered the highest honor.
Since the practice began in 1852, the honor has been given to 38 people who have been counting Ginsberg, including 12 presidents.
Here are some other historic first things.
Elijah Cummings
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer and other members of Congress have long paid tribute to Maryland Democrat Cummings. Pelosi referred to Cummings in his remarks as “our North Star, a guide to a better future for our children.”
John Lewis
The signing of the civil rights and finally the congressman’s ceremony was July 27-28.
After the ceremony in Rotunda, the outing began in public as a precautionary measure. But neither the virus nor the stormy weather, Lewis Casket kept the crowd ining for a chance to pay their respects. Lines to the Capitol extend to several lanes leading to the Supreme Court building.
Daniel Inoy
Inoy was a World War II veteran who held the honors of Handel in the Senate for five decades and represented Hawaii. She has been the second-ranked serving senator in the chamber’s history.
Former President Barack Obama called Inoye a “true American hero.”
Inoy was of Japanese descent and served in a U.S. Army unit made up of Japanese Americans. His battalion was the most ornate unit of World War II.
Rosa Parks
Former President George W. Bush Bush and First Lady Laura Bush attended the ceremony.
Officer Jacob Chestnut
Capitol police officer Jacob Chestnut was the first black American to be honored in 1998 after being killed on the line of duty. A gunman shoots two officers at the Capitol building: Chestnut and Detective John Gibson. Both individuals were honored to become the first private citizens to be honored at the Capitol, according to Congress historians.
Abraham Lincoln
The coffin for Lincoln was built to hold the wooden frame of the coffin. Since 1865, most services in Rotunda have used Lincoln’s catapult, congressional historians say.
